Students
The lab has mentored undergraduate, master's, medical, and international students on kidney organoid, bioengineering, and computational projects.
Lab and training
A translational kidney organoid lab at Mass General.
Ryuji Morizane, MD, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and research staff in the Nephrology Division at Massachusetts General Hospital.
PI profile
Dr. Morizane trained in medicine and medical sciences at Keio University, completed postdoctoral training in the Renal Division at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital, and has held Harvard Medical School faculty appointments since 2015. He became Associate Professor of Medicine in 2023.
He is a recipient of the NIH Director's New Innovator Award / DP2 for work recreating kidney organogenesis in vitro with human pluripotent stem cells.
Contact
Students, postdoctoral candidates, visiting scientists, and industry visitors interested in kidney organoids, organoid-on-chip systems, disease modeling, or translational bioengineering are invited to contact:
Postdoctoral fellows
Postdoctoral fellows work across stem cell biology, kidney disease modeling, organoid-on-chip systems, imaging, and translational assay development.
Visiting scientists
The lab has experience hosting visiting scientists and company-supported visitors for collaborative technology development.
Industry fellows
Industry scientists can train in the lab through the MGB inbound fellowship program when the scientific project and institutional framework are aligned.
Training environment
The lab combines developmental biology, kidney physiology, microfluidics, disease modeling, imaging, and translational research. Trainees can build projects that connect basic mechanisms to human-relevant platforms for therapy discovery.
Opportunities are available for students, postdoctoral fellows, visiting scientists, and industry fellows interested in kidney organoids, disease modeling, organoid-on-chip systems, and translational bioengineering.
