Working with this supervisor

The Gillrie Lab is a multi-disciplinary team that focuses on developing new models of human tissues to study globally important infectious diseases such as pneumonia, bacteremia, fungemia and parasitic infections. Collaborative projects range from biomedical engineering models with advanced functionality such as perfusable blood vessels, breathing airways, and integrated immune cells. Translational studies focus on utilization of clinical biobanks from hospitalized patients with life-threatening infections to explore new mechanisms and therapeutic targets for human infectious diseases. We are always looking for motivated, bright, innovative and collaborative trainees from a range of disciplines in engineering and biology. Hiring in our lab also emphasizes equity, diversity, and inclusivity in the lab. Please find more information on lab website (www.gillrielab.com) if interested in working with our team.
