Undergraduate & Co-op Research Opportunities in Clinical & Translational Microbiology
Types of Research Projects
Projects will involve evaluation and/or development of cutting-edge clinical microbiology diagnostics used to identify infectious agents (bacteria, fungi, viruses) to aid in diagnosis and treatment of human infection; and projects in Immunomics (how the repertoire of antibodies respond to pathogens and vaccination), emerging antimicrobial resistance, antibiotic development, and Gram-negative bacterial pathogenesis.

Faculty Mentors and Research Areas
Students may contact faculty mentors directly based on research interests:
Stefan Riedel, MD, PhD. for projects related to next generation diagnostics.
Ramy Arnaout, MD, DPhil for projects related to Immunomics.
James Kirby for projects related to antimicrobial resistance, antibiotic development, and bacterial pathogenesis.
Please indicate in your email that you were referred from the clinmicrolab.org website.
Students at all levels of experience are welcome. Additional information about ongoing research programs can be found on individual faculty websites. We currently, or in the past, have hosted students from Northeastern University, Boston University, Wellesley College, the University of Massachusetts, Simmons University, Harvard University, Wayne State University, Oberlin College, and MIT. Participants have gone on to highly competitive medical school, graduate school, and residency programs.
High school students may also be eligible to participate in research experiences through the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Office of Student Engagement (OSEE). Interested students should review program requirements and application processes through the OSEE website.
Northeastern Coop Students
Northeastern University co-op students are especially encouraged to apply. Our Co-op students have gone on to graduate and medical school after graduating from college. We look forward to hearing form you!
