  Job Summary

  The Brastianos Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital is looking for a highly motivated individual to fill a full-time Research Technician position. The Brastianos Lab, part of the Brain Tumor Research Center at MGH, studies primary and metastatic brain tumors using in vitro and in vivo techniques, including animal models. Knowledge gained from these studies is translated into new targets for cancer therapy.
