Advancing Cardiovascular Science Through Fellowship Research at Tufts Medical Center
At Tufts Medical Center, cardiovascular research plays a pivotal role in the fellowship experience. Fellows are encouraged to engage in various research projects early in their training, which include opportunities in basic and translational science, clinical studies, and population research. These research experiences are designed to deepen the fellows' understanding of cardiovascular diseases and contribute to advancing the field.
Fellows research forum
Each fellow completes academic projects during their fellowship, with opportunities to present their findings at divisional conferences and prestigious local, national, and international forums. The Fellows Research Forum is a unique platform where fellows present their research proposals and share their results with the entire faculty, fostering an environment of collaboration and academic growth.
Molecular Cardiology Research Institute
For fellows with an interest in basic science, the Molecular Cardiology Research Institute (MCRI) at Tufts Medical Center offers exceptional opportunities. MCRI focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases and translating these findings into novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The institute is home to an NIH-sponsored fellowship training grant, providing fellows with hands-on experience to pursue careers in biological sciences with a focus on cardiovascular research.
Division of Clinical Care Research
Fellows interested in clinical care and health outcomes have the opportunity to collaborate with the Division of Clinical Care Research at Tufts Medical Center. Researchers in this division explore factors affecting clinical care and work on developing innovative treatment strategies, decision-making tools, and technology-driven systems to improve health outcomes. The division offers post-doctoral training in clinical care research, providing additional opportunities for fellows to expand their expertise.
