Characterization of Chronic Thrombus

Opportunity Description:

Like imaging but hate clots? The Biomedical Acoustics Development and Engineering Research Laboratory seeks an undergraduate researcher in the field of image-guided focused ultrasound therapies for the treatment of venous thrombosis. The overall goal of this project is to is to quantify imaging metrics associated with chronic thrombus components to predict the outcomes of vascular intervention. The researcher will conduct ex vivo and in vivo studies with diagnostic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in order to develop techniques to guide clinicians in the treatment of venous thromboembolism patients. Further information on the project can be found at baderlab.uchicago.edu. The candidate must be highly motivated, have excellent written and verbal communication skills, and enthusiasm to work in a multi-disciplinary team. Preference will be given to candidates with demonstrated experience and productivity in the field of thrombosis. Interested candidates should send a curriculum vita, dates of availability, and the names and contact information for one reference via email to Dr. Kenneth Bader: baderk@uchicago.edu.
