Professional Bio
Jason C. Marvin (Pronouns: he/they) is a Harvard Medical School Dean's Postdoctoral Fellow in the Galloway Laboratory at the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Regenerative Medicine. Jason completed their PhD in biomedical engineering at Cornell University as a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) Fellow and Cornell Provost Diversity Fellow. Jason completed his B.S. in biomedical engineering from The University of Texas at Dallas, where he was a recipient of an AES Honors full-tuition scholarship.
Their research is focused on investigating the biological mechanisms that drive mammalian tendon regeneration to develop more effective therapeutic interventions. They are committed to expanding access to higher education through inclusive teaching strategies, LGBTQ-focused advocacy and visibility, and K-12 STEM outreach. While at Cornell, Jason served as a Center for Teaching Innovation (CTI) Fellow and Graduate Resident Fellow (GRF) in the West Campus House System, facilitating workshops and providing resources for the personal and professional development of his fellow Cornellians. He has also served as the Director of Mentorship for Out in STEM (oSTEM), Inc. to launch a global mentorship program for LGBTQ+ students and professionals. They also served as the Outreach Co-Chair for the Cornell Graduate Biomedical Engineering Society chapter and as a Cornell GRASSHOPR Fellow to improve STEM literacy and expose local youth to careers in science. Lastly, he has also served as an organizer for Communication Science (ComSciCon) workshops (Cornell’18/NY’19/ScienceWriters’19) that offer STEM researchers hands-on science communication training.
Their long-term career goal is to pursue a tenure-track faculty position in an engineering and/or orthopaedic surgery department.
Jason is also a member of the BMES Diversity Committee.
