Training Opportunities
We're seeking highly motivated students and postdoctoral research candidates to join our lab.
Our trainees conduct lab tasks and work in the areas of heart failure, thoracic organ transplantation and cardiac preservation. Trainees conduct basic research to gain exposure to the clinical translational impact of our work. They help conduct patient-focused studies using institutional and national databases with a clinical outcomes research focus. Trainees also develop research hypotheses, design experiments, write manuscripts, and apply for intramural and external grant funding.
We encourage Ph.D. students to contact us about lab rotations and long-term research opportunities. College students and graduates and clinical residents and fellows are also welcome to inquire about potential research opportunities.
