Turbocharging Medical Translation
Most medical researchers focus tightly on a narrow set of diseases or technologies. Jeffrey Karp looks instead across a broad smorgasbord of medical issues where innovative bioengineering can make a big difference in a relatively small amount of time.
“In my laboratory, we bring together people from diverse backgrounds,” says Karp, an affiliate faculty member at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology and associate professor at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. “We have chemical engineers, immunologists, basic biologists, materials scientists, polymer engineers, and clinicians. We work very collaboratively, and we like to pick problems where there’s opportunity for translation in the near future.”
