>The Center for Gynepatholgy Research 
>(<http://web.mit.edu/cgr/>http://web.mit.edu/cgr/) is a joint 
>MIT-Newton Wellesley Hospital program focused on women's 
>reproductive health. We are seeking2-3  undergraduate students to 
>aid with collection of tissue samples from patients undergoing 
>laproscopic surgery in the Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgery 
>center at Newton Wellesley Hospital for a project focused on 
>understanding the etiology of endometriosis. This opportunity is 
>appropriate for pre-medical students or others who want exposure to 
>the clinical/basic science interface. Each week, we identify 
>appropriate cases from the upcoming surgery list for the following 
>week, and schedule sample collection.   The requirements for this 
>opportunity are (i) an ability to drive a ZIPcar under the MIT 
>Zipcar agreement to NWH approximately once per week (MIT students 
>18+ with appropriate driving records are eligible; costs are covered 
>by the project), and some flexibility in your schedule to 
>accommodate slight shifts in the OR schedule on the day of surgery 
>and highly varied times of day each week.  Many of the surgeries 
>start early (7:30 am).   The project can be volunteer (with 
>invitation to research meetings) or UROP, and if UROP, an 
>appropriate research history will be required.  The technical 
>contact for this opportunity is Emily Prentice (MIT Biology 2011; 
>Emily Prentice <<mailto:eprentic at gmail.com>eprentic at gmail.com>) and 
>the faculty member is  Prof. Griffith.  Our clinical collaborator, 
>Dr. Keith Isaacson, is the current president of the American 
>Association for Gynecologic Laproscopy and Prof. of OB/Gyb at HMS, 
>and his partner, Dr Stephanie Morris, is an MIT alum and also on the 
>HMS faculty.
>
>The position starts immediately and you must be here during the 
>summer to become involved.
