Pulmonary + Critical Care Fellowship Program

Hands-on research experience for pulmonary + critical care fellows

We provide robust research training through our partnership with Tufts Clinical and Translational Science Institute. Fellows have the option to pursue a Master’s in Clinical and Translational Science, choosing from tracks like Clinical Discovery, Clinical Effectiveness Research, and Practice to Policy Research. Our program offers dedicated research time and strong faculty mentorship to help fellows develop skills essential for academic and clinical research careers.

Clinical research

Our clinical research program focuses on improving care for people with respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation, and pulmonary complications of systemic illness. Active studies include:

Stem Cell therapy in ARDS
Predictors of outcomes in mechanical ventilation and acute lung injury
Weaning and extubation protocols
Clinical outcomes of post-ICU clinic visits
Use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) to support weaning or prevent reintubation
Sedation practices in the ICU and their impact on outcomes

Industry-sponsored research

We are also engaged in several ongoing, industry-supported studies related to:

Monoclonal antibody guided thrombolysis in PE
Respiratory muscle stimulation in respiratory failure
Acute lung injury
Pulmonary hypertension
COPD

Our fellows have the flexibility to pursue research aligned with their career goals, with strong mentorship from faculty across Tufts Medical Center and Tufts University School of Medicine.
