Mass General Brigham relies on a wide range of professionals, including doctors, nurses, business people, tech experts, researchers, and systems analysts to advance our mission. As a not-for-profit, we support patient care, research, teaching, and community service, striving to provide exceptional care.

The Laboratory of Dr. Michelle Rengarajan is focused on accelerating therapeutic development and improving clinical care for people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and has a long-standing interest in human autoimmunity. We aim to 1) develop non-invasive biological markers to track DMD, 2) develop a standardized antibody test for detection of anti-AAV antibodies that prevent many people with rare diseases from qualifying for life-saving gene therapies, and 3) understand transgene immunity responses that can occur with gene therapy. Primary responsibility in this role is to assist in ongoing research studies under the supervision and direction of PI and lab staff. The job will include conducting an independent research project, keeping meticulous records, presentation at lab meetings and scientific conferences and basic lab duties. We expect that highly motivated individuals will contribute to the lab&rsquo;s publications and will accordingly be credited with authorship. Critical skills include superb verbal and written communication skills, attention to detail, ability to work independently (under close supervision after training) and as part of a team. As we are a relatively new lab, there is much potential for scientific learning, growth and skill-development. In this role, technicians are not limited to repetitive tasks but instead will gain agency over their own projects and are encouraged to provide input on project direction. This position is ideal for gaining research experience prior to graduate or medical school. Applicants should submit a resume, a cover letter describing why they are interested in DMD/gene therapy research. Applications lacking a cover letter will not be considered.<p></p><p><b><br>
