The Division of Geographic Medicine and Infectious Diseases faculty at Tufts Medical Center in downtown Boston is deeply committed to helping all of our fellows reach their career goals.

Fellows interested in developing additional expertise in transplant infectious diseases will be interested in our Transplant Infectious Disease Concentration.

Our outstanding faculty are published in numerous, highly regarded, academic journals.

The Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship Training Program at Tufts Medical Center provides trainees with the necessary skills to become exceptional specialists. Fellows are integrated into all aspects of the Division of Cardiology and the CardioVascular Center, providing bedside care, mastering procedural skills and participating in educational and research activities.

The Division of Cardiology at Tufts Medical Center in Boston offers advanced fellowship training in Heart Failure and Cardiac Transplantation for board-eligible/certified cardiovascular specialists.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, but you can reduce your risk.

Surveys show that few women think heart disease is their greatest health threat.

If you’re at risk for heart disease, there's good news.

MCRI is comprised of 12 scientists dedicated to investigating the molecular mechanisms of common cardiovascular diseases and translating those discoveries into new clinical strategies for diagnosis and therapy to prevent and treat heart diseases including heart attack, high blood pressure and heart failure.

The Molecular Cardiology Research Institute (MCRI) at Tufts Medical Center is dedicated to investigating the molecular mechanisms of common cardiovascular diseases and translating those discoveries into new clinical strategies for diagnosis and therapy to prevent and treat various forms of heart disease including heart attack, high blood pressure and heart failure.

The mission of the Cardiac Biology Research Center (CBRC) is to advance our understanding of fundamental mechanisms that regulate cardiac structure and function across multiple disease conditions, including heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary and systemic hypertension, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, autonomic dysfunction and arrhythmias. With advanced expertise in molecular cardiology, integrative physiology, molecular imaging, nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, and translational research, the CBRC studies novel signaling mechanisms that govern cardiomyocyte and non-myocyte cell populations.

The Center for Translational Pharmacology and Genomics focuses on leveraging molecular pharmacology, biology and genetic approaches toward the development of novel therapeutics.

The core focus of the Pulakat lab is the elucidation and manipulation of various biological pathways that contribute to the development and pathogenesis of cardio-metabolic diseases and aging and uncovering markers of sex differences in heart disease.

The Jaffe laboratory is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms by which blood vessels become dysfunctional to lead to common cardiovascular conditions, including heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, in-stent restenosis, vein graft failure and heart failure. We are interested in understanding how traditional risk factors like aging, obesity, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, or new risk factors like novel cancer treatments, cause blood vessels to become diseased. We are also focused on understanding sex differences in how these cardiovascular diseases develop, in order to identify sex-specific precision medicine strategies.

The Interventional Cardiology Fellowship Program at Tufts Medical Center in Boston is a 1-year advanced fellowship for cardiovascular specialists seeking interventional expertise.

The Vascular Biology Research Center (VBRC) investigators work to understand the molecular underpinnings of healthy blood vessel function and how dysfunction develops, which can lead to cardiovascular diseases including high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke.

The Women’s CV Health Research Group brings together basic scientists from the Molecular Cardiology Research Institute (MCRI) with scientists, clinician investigators and population researchers from diverse Departments at Tufts Medical Center including Internal Medicine, the Mother Infant Research Institute (MIRI), Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Pediatrics with the Tufts Freidman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, Tufts University School of Medicine and School of Public Health, and the Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (HNRCA) with common interests in studying the unique aspects of Women’s Cardiovascular Health.
