Build your research career in infectious diseases at Tufts Medical Center
Research training is a core strength of the Infectious Diseases Fellowship at Tufts Medical Center. Our Division of Geographic Medicine and Infectious Diseases supports a vibrant, collaborative research community with a strong track record of innovation and impact.
We host approximately 25 postdoctoral trainees each year, supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health as well as other federal and private agencies. Our world-renowned researchers lead groundbreaking studies across basic, clinical and translational infectious diseases science. Many of our faculty also serve as senior editors for Clinical Infectious Diseases, one of the top journals in the field.
The program is designed for fellows with an MD who have completed at least one year of clinical ID training, as well as for PhDs and DVMs pursuing postdoctoral research. During the first year, fellows are introduced to the division’s wide-ranging research through regular meetings and poster sessions. This helps each fellow choose a research mentor, develop a mentorship committee and identify a project that aligns with their long-term goals.
