 Mentoring 
 current student opportunities
Available: 09/01/11, Expires: 09/02/13

The MGH Neurology clinical trial unit leads single and multi-center clinical research studies to explore the cause of ALS and to develop novel treatments. Students would participate in ongoing biomarker and therapeutic studies. Opportunities for independent research available. Projects would depend on student interest, skills and what projects we have at time they join our group. We have a vibrant research group; a smart motivated students will learn a lot about clinical research and neurodegenerative disorders. I like to take on smart, motivated students- and then decide with them what they will work on.
