Description RESEARCH SCIENTIST, Chemical Engineering, to join a collaborative effort between MIT and Harvard under the JDFI Center for Islet Transplantation at Harvard Medical School. The major emphasis of the project is on the development of novel methods for islet culture and quality assessment. REQUIREMENTS: a Ph.D. in chemical engineering, strong publication record, substantial background in tissue engineering, and in-depth understanding of b-cell physiology and stimulus-secretion coupling. Three or more years' experience required in as many as possible of the following areas: monolayer and 3D cell culture with insulin-secreting tissue, including human islets; effect of hypoxia and hyperoxia on viability and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion; cell encapsulation in alginate and/or in planar diffusion chambers and NMR spectroscopy for assessing metabolism and energetic state of cells in bioreactors and islet and b-cell quality assessment using oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and NMR. 02-0270 Location
