The Udler Laboratory in the Center for Genomic Medicine (CGM) at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is seeking a motivated, enthusiastic candidate to join our research group.
Our research group is an interdisciplinary team of clinicians, biostatisticians, and computational biologists who are working together to investigate the use of genetics to improve care of people with diabetes. Our lab spans the CGM and the Diabetes Unit at MGH, as well as the Diabetes Initiative at the Broad Institute. We investigate both common and rare genetic variation contributing to diabetes and utilizes unprecedented sets of genetic data linked to clinical data in massive biobanks and study cohorts. Dr. Udler is the founding director of the MGH Diabetes Genetics Clinic and a member of the ClinGen Monogenic Diabetes Expert Panel. Our lab leads national consortia on the study of rare and atypical diabetes, as well as the heterogeneity of diabetes. The successful applicant would contribute to both clinical and research capacities. The clinical work would involve working with Dr. Udler to order genetic testing and provide counseling to patients seen in the MGH Diabetes Clinic. The research tasks are clinically motivated and involve performing variant curation for variants in monogenic diabetes genes and assisting with development of novel genetic testing reports that communicate both monogenic and polygenic disease risk. The research tasks are funded in part by an NIH grant aimed at studying variants of intermediate penetrance and involves collaboration with leaders in the field of diabetes genetics and clinical genetics, including Dr. Josep Mercader at MGH/Broad; Dr. Matthew Lebo, Director of the Mass General Brigham Laboratory of Molecular Medicine; and Dr. Toni Pollin, Professor of Genetics at University of Maryland and leader of ClinGen curation efforts in monogenic diabetes.
