Isaac Donnell, a third year chemistry major at Carleton College, is working with Jeffrey Duryea, PhD, researching quantitative musculoskeletal imaging group (Q-MIG) to provide a more quantitative analysis of osteoarthritis severity. He is interested in medical research and surgery and hopes throughout his internship that he will gain insight into the field and learn more about the inner workings of the hospital and research laboratories. Having not had much experience with osteoarthritis and the process of medical imaging, Isaac is excited to learn more about both through hands-on experience. Before applying to medical school (or possibly an MD/PhD program), Isaac hopes to work in a research laboratory for at least a year, but is open to other options as well.

The Brigham Musculoskeletal (MSK) Internship Program, launched for the first time this summer, offers undergraduate students the opportunity to gain experience working in cutting-edge musculoskeletal research laboratories under the guidance of experienced mentors.
Five undergraduate students were chosen to participate in this 8-week program, which began in late June, each of whom was assigned a Brigham researcher as their mentor.
Each day this week, we will be introducing our MSK interns, their scientific interests, what they have been researching with their mentors, and what they hope to have gained from this experience at the completion of their internship.
