About
The Center for Health + Technology (CHeT) is an organization at the University of Rochester that seeks to use technology to advance clinical research and ultimately improve the lives of patients. Since its inception, CHeT has enrolled 40,000+ participants in 130+ clinical studies, as well as supported clinical trials for seven FDA-approved treatments for conditions including Parkinson’s disease and Huntington’s disease. Our collaborators on innovative studies include MIT, Apple, Biogen, Sage Bionetworks, and the Michael J. Fox Foundation, among others.
We are seeking a motivated individual interested in joining a team that is transforming healthcare through novel applications of technology to neurological diseases.
