Boston, United States Massachusetts General Hospital Full time

Research Assistant, Junior Biostatistician for Cutting-Edge Research on Neuroimmune Disorders Using a Machine Learning Approach

Duration: 1 Year Contract with the possibility of extension

Salary: Commensurate with experience, including fringe and indirect costs

Latest Start Date: June 1, 2024

Reports To: Dr. Breithaupt, Principal Investigator

About the Project:

Neuroimmune disorders, including PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) and PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome), are proposed diagnoses illustrating a clinical picture of acute onset obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) or restrictive eating with underlying immune dysregulation driving symptom onset. No biomarkers have been identified for PANS/PANDAS, leaving families and clinicians relying on symptom presentations that overlap with traditional OCD and restrictive eating disorders, which are more commonly diagnosed and may overshadowing an underlying PANS/PANDAS diagnosis. As a result, novel treatments designed to target the potential behavioral symptom pathogenesis. (e.g., inflammation and/or infection) are not even explored or developed. As part of this project, the individual will work with the study team members to identify potential disease specific biomarkers for PANS/PANDAS using the largest and most comprehensive dataset of patients of PANS/PANDAS symptoms.

About the team:

The individual will join the Multidisciplinary Eating Disorders Research Collaborative (MEDRC) at MassGeneral Brigham (MGB). The team is comprised of clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, cognitive neuroscientists, neurobiologists, radiologists, endocrinologists, pediatricians, and computer scientists, making this an idea fit for individuals seeking a collaborative and multidisciplinary environment.
