| Employer Description Guillermo J. Tearney, M.D., Ph.D. Tearney Lab – Wellman Center for Photomedicine Massachusetts General Hospital Job Description A Postdoctoral research fellowship in the area of In Vivo Microscopy is available in the Tearney Lab (www.tearneylab.org) at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in the Wellman Center for Photomedicine. This appointment will be made at the rank of postdoctoral fellow at Harvard Medical School. MGH’s role as a leading teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School and close ties to Harvard University and MIT provide an outstanding environment for developing and translating new in vivo microscopy technologies with applications in basic and clinical research. The fellowship will focus on the development and clinical application of advanced in vivo microscopy imaging devices, including endoscopic OCT, multimodality OCT, high-resolution OCT, spectroscopic OCT, FFOCM, confocal microscopy, SECM, capsule endomicroscopy, oblique-backscattering microscopy (OBM), and related technologies. The specific aim of the fellowship can be tailored to meet individual goals, which will provide an opportunity to build clinical, research, and publication experience. Clinical applications of these technologies include diagnosis of cancer in the gastrointestinal and pulmonary tracts, and diagnosis of atherosclerosis in the cardiovascular system.
