Collaborate or train with us
The Developmental Endoscopy Lab offers endoscopy research collaboration opportunities for medical device companies. We also provide training positions in research and advanced endoscopic techniques for fellows and gastroenterologists.
Collaborate with us
We're actively seeking to partner with medical device companies on:
- Preclinical, ex vivo and clinical research for product development and evaluation.
- Good laboratory practice (GLP) research.
By partnering with our lab, device and technology innovators can interact with physician innovators who evaluate prototype devices or existing products, identify gaps in endoscopic care and treatment, and create solutions together to advance endoscopic practice.
Some areas of research interest include small bowel bleeding, capsule technology, defect closure, obesity, and muscle biopsy of the gut wall.
Train with us
We also have openings for several endoscopy training positions, including:
- Innovation research fellowship. This is a one-year program dedicated to endoscopic innovation and research. It provides instruction and guidance on the basic steps required from idea to implementation into clinical care.
- Individualized training. Our lab offers a unique opportunity for gastroenterologists to personalize their training by choosing the techniques of interest, with one-on-one hands-on training with an expert in our preclinical lab.
- Sponsored training. We offer medical device company training and institution-sponsored training on specific devices and techniques, from basic to advanced endoscopic interventions.
