Mass General Brigham
Genetic Counselor – MGH Diabetes Genetics Clinic
Site: The General Hospital Corporation
Mass General Brigham relies on a wide range of professionals, including doctors, nurses, business people, tech experts, researchers, and systems analysts to advance our mission. As a not-for-profit, we support patient care, research, teaching, and community service, striving to provide exceptional care. We believe that high-performing teams drive groundbreaking medical discoveries and invite all applicants to join us and experience what it means to be part of Mass General Brigham.
Job Summary The Udler Laboratory in the Center for Genomic Medicine (CGM) at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) is seeking a motivated, enthusiastic candidate to join our research group. Our interdisciplinary team of clinicians, biostatisticians, and computational biologists investigate the use of genetics to improve care of people with diabetes. The lab spans the CGM and the Diabetes Unit at MGH, as well as the Diabetes Initiative at the Broad Institute. We investigate both common and rare genetic variation contributing to diabetes and utilize unprecedented sets of genetic data linked to clinical data in massive biobanks and study cohorts. Dr. Udler is the founding director of the MGH Diabetes Genetics Clinic and a member of the ClinGen Monogenic Diabetes Expert Panel. Our lab leads national consortia on the study of rare and atypical diabetes, as well as the heterogeneity of diabetes.
Responsibilities The successful applicant will contribute to both clinical and research capacities. Clinical work involves working with Dr. Udler to order genetic testing and provide counseling to patients seen in the MGH Diabetes Clinic. Research tasks are clinically motivated and involve performing variant curation for variants in monogenic diabetes genes and assisting with development of novel genetic testing reports that communicate both monogenic and polygenic disease risk. The research tasks are funded in part by an NIH grant aimed at studying variants of intermediate penetrance and involve collaboration with leaders in the field of diabetes genetics and clinical genetics, including Dr. Josep Mercader at MGH/Broad; Dr. Matthew Lebo, Director of the Mass General Brigham Laboratory of Molecular Medicine; and Dr. Toni Pollin, Professor of Genetics at University of Maryland and leader of ClinGen curation efforts in monogenic diabetes.
