Dr. Naren Tallapragada started Tessel to stop chronic disease. Over a decade ago, while an undergrad at MIT studying Electrical Engineering & Physics, Naren watched his mom succumb to small bowel cancer after a lifetime with Crohn’s. That experience led Naren to pick up a pipette for the first time and pursue a PhD in Systems Biology at Harvard. Motivated by one question – “Why don’t we all get cancer all the time?” – Naren studied organ regeneration and repair, with a focus on watching stem cells in tissues carry out this complex dance. In the process, he pioneered methods to reverse-engineer disease in a dish through organoid culture, imaging, and single-cell sequencing. Naren’s career has taken him from politics and Big Tech back to science and startups, with stops along the way at Roivant, Google X, and Pete Buttigieg’s presidential campaign. Now, Naren is excited to build on this foundation – discovering and developing new drugs with the whole team at Tessel.

Outside of work, Naren enjoys running, cooking, and subjecting his family to bad puns and dad jokes.

Discover Prehealth FPOP celebrates its 9th year

Erica Long — Thu, 24 Oct 2024 18:22:08 +0000

As MIT welcomes incoming first year students for the 2024 fall semester, Discover Prehealth FPOP gives 24 of these students an additional opportunity to learn about careers in healthcare/medicine, meet the MIT Prehealth Advising team, and make new friends the week before first year orientation. Now in its 9^th year, the program aims to help students with an interest in healthcare explore some of the many career options in the field – from learning about clinical research to hearing from current MD, PhD, and MD-PhD students, to participating in a suture lab. The program also acquaints students with prehealth advising at MIT, opportunities available to them as prehealth students, and more general MIT resources as well.

This year, some highlights included visits to the MIT Center for Clinical and Translational Research (CCTR), the Broad Institute, Harvard Medical School, and the Museum of Science. Students also had the chance to learn more about surgery in veterinary medicine and try out suturing. Through these visits and activities, students were not only able to learn more about careers in medicine, but also about research opportunities available to them as undergraduates and about life as a medical student from MIT alumni.

Participants also had a chance to learn from their peers during the program. Discover Prehealth FPOP’s three student peer counselors shared their own experiences as MIT prehealth students, lead multiple activities from icebreakers and campus tours to scavenger hunts, panels, and reflection activities, and provided support to participants during the week. Students were also able to learn from other MIT prehealth students during a student panel and a visit to MIT EMS. Current participants have the option of applying to be peer counselors in the future, and many of our peer counselors completed the program themselves as first years.

Beyond learning more about careers in medicine and prehealth opportunities at MIT, the program also aims to introduce students to MIT and to Cambridge. Participants were able to meet and learn more about Career Advising, MISTI, PKG, UROP, and S^3. Students also competed in a scavenger hunt around campus and had, for some, their first experience with the MBTA (which was of course a bit of an adventure).

On the last day of DPH FPOP, one tradition is to do the Paper Plate activity, where each participant has a paper plate with their name on it, and everyone writes a brief note on each plate. It was a great way to finish a fun week of activities and learning about medicine. As one participant wrote, “The DPH FPOP helped me build my first community at MIT, and it was extremely helpful and informative in terms of learning about prehealth.” I’m already looking forward to our Discover Prehealth FPOP reunion in the spring.

CAPD Clinical Research Externship

Akunna Rosser — Wed, 14 Feb 2024 21:31:23 +0000

The CAPD Clinical Research Externship (CRE) is a 6-week experiential learning opportunity designed to help undergraduates explore the career path of a physician that conducts clinical research.

Participants will spend 10-hrs per week acquiring career-building connections with Physician Mentors at Mass General Hospital, Boston Children’s Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and UCSF Health (San Francisco, CA) while learning about the important role physicians and clinical research play in advancing medical knowledge and improving patient outcomes. The program is best suited for undergraduates pursuing a career as a physician (MD) or physician-scientist (MD-PhD).

Through the Clinical Research Externship, selected participants will:

Spend up to 6 weeks under the guidance of a physician mentor at a local Boston hospital or UCSF Health. Each participant will commit up to 10-hrs per week, Monday through Friday. The 10-hrs can be consistent through the entire 6-week experience or vary week-to-week.
Receive a stipend up to $2000 to offset any costs associated with participating in the program. The duration of the externship impacts the amount of funding received and is determined by each participant and their physician mentor.
Engage in small-scale projects meant to expose each student to the process of conducting clinical research. This may include data collection, entry, and/or management, literature reviews, participant recruitment, statistical analysis, and other relevant short-term projects
Observe physicians in their clinical setting and their interactions with patients.
Develop meaningful connections with a physician mentor through 1-1 check-ins while also meeting with lab members and research collaborators.
Become better equipped to confirm an interest a Medical Degree (MD) or combined MD/PhD.
Acquire a valuable learning opportunity meant to assist one in exploring a career in medicine.

Timeline:

Each externship will last up to six weeks, with participants committing up to 10 hours per week, Monday through Friday. *Keep in mind, the CRE is not a full-time experience nor an opportunity to conduct a research project and is instead an opportunity for students to gain exposure to the career of a physician that conducts clinical research. The CRE is ideal for students that have an additional free 10 hours a week to contribute to this experience. The CRE is meant to supplement another experience you are already engaging in since the externship is only 10 hours per week.

Eligibility:

Must be a current MIT student
Preference given to rising juniors and seniors
A current MIT Prehealth student; please email prehealth@mit.edu if you are not

Application Requirements:
