The laboratory focuses on the application of micro- and nanotechnology to tissue repair and regeneration. We aim to improve cellular therapies for liver disease, develop microtechnology tools to systematically study living cells, and design better ways to diagnose and treat cancer.
Postdoctoral Inquiries:
Candidates should have a Ph.D. or M.D. degree with expertise in liver biology, stem cells, biomaterials, polymer chemistry, tissue engineering, nanomaterials, bioconjugate chemistry, microfabrication, or microfluidics.
Applicants, please send an email to lmrt-positions@mit.edu that includes:
- a summary of your research experience and interests, specifically as it relates to what you might pursue in our group (500 words or less).
- a copy of your curriculum vitae, including the names and contact information of three referees (PDF format preferred)
Please note, we receive a large volume of inquiries, so we regret that we are unable to respond to each submission. For all open positions, if we are interested in pursuing your application, we’ll be in touch within 6 weeks of receiving it.
Prospective Graduate Students:
The lab is always looking for exceptional students for graduate study. Current MIT graduate students who are interested in doing their thesis at LMRT should contact Dr. Bhatia directly with a curriculum vitae, names of three referees, and a summary of research experience and interests.
UROP Positions:
UROP positions are often available across a broad range of topics. Students should be self-motivated and eager to broaden their horizons in bioengineering research. Interested undergraduates should contact Dr. Bhatia directly and include your resume.
