Pediatric GI/Nutrition Fellowship

The GI Cell and Developmental Biology Laboratories, directed by Drs. Marian Neutra and Wayne Lencer, are located on the seventh floor of the Enders Research Building at Boston Children's Hospital. The laboratories of six NIH-funded Principle Investigators form a consortium of scientists focused on gastrointestinal research. The laboratories also house the Administrative Core and two Scientific Cores of the Harvard Digestive Diseases Center, as well as an NIH-funded center directed by Dr. Marian Neutra, comprised of 60 outstanding scientists on the Harvard Medical School campus. The Administrative Core of the Harvard Medical School Fellowship in Pediatric GI, Hepatology, and Nutrition, directed by Wayne Lencer, are also housed in the GI Cell and Developmental Biology Laboratories.
