Determined To Improve Quality of Life, Patient by Patient and Systemwide
Graduating MD/PhD student Emily Rencsok journeys through bioengineering, epidemiology, rehabilitation
When Emily Rencsok was a teenager, she saw the transformative effect a double knee replacement had on her grandmother.
“It was night and day,” Rencsok remembered. “She was having trouble walking and was in a lot of pain, and within a couple days, she was up and walking around.”
The daughter of a preschool special-education teacher and an electric motor repairman, Rencsok didn’t know anyone in science or medicine — but her grandmother’s experience got her interested in bioengineering.
“I wanted to design devices so people could walk better or do tissue engineering so people could have better cartilage repair,” she said.
She started down a path that eventually led to the MD/PhD program in the Harvard-MIT Program in Health Sciences and Technology (HST). Thanks to the influence of mentors and chance experiences, Rencsok found a home in epidemiology, earning her PhD from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in 2023. When she graduates with her MD in May, she’ll head into physical medicine and rehabilitation training.
She hopes to combine direct patient care with her expertise in public health, statistics, and the social factors that influence disease to build public trust and form a more equitable and accessible health system.
Read the full article on HMS News here to learn more about Emily's clinical education journey, her time at HST, and her post-graduation plans.

Robotic Cardiac Catheters
We are developing robotic catheters for heart valve repair and for treatment of arrythmias. Robotics offers the advantage of reducing the learning curve for complex beating-heart procedures and, ultimately, provides a platform for introducing automation. Important components of these projects can include: (1) user-based and autonomous control, (2) integration of therapeutic devices, and (3) testing in anatomical and animal models. Experience in robotics, control and prototyping is preferred.
Transcatheter Heart Valve Repair and Replacement Devices
Transcatheter procedures avoid the trauma and risks of open-heart surgery by delivering devices that are intended to replicate surgical repair and replacement. We are creating novel devices and tools for both valve repair and replacement. These projects require innovative design and creative problem-solving skills along with expertise in prototyping and experimental evaluation.
Cutting tools for Transcatheter Valve Modification
While current transcatheter valve interventions deploy devices that push, pull and approximate tissue to restore valve function, a complete surgical repair often involves cutting and removing valve tissue. As a first step toward providing this capability, this project involves developing catheter-delivered energy-based cutting tools for valve repair and replacement.
Qualified applicants should respond by email to Professor Pierre Dupont
(Pierre.Dupont [at] childrens.harvard.edu) with a description of their qualifications, academic background and availability.
