When you have an unexpected injury or illness, is it better to go to an urgent care center or the emergency room? It's important to understand your options.

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.

Why I give

Tufts Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency program is a three-year Advanced, ACGME-accredited residency.

We are committed to providing exceptional care and injury prevention for children. Our mission goes beyond treating injuries so we develop innovative injury prevention programs for children. Through our community safety programs, we have already reached out to over 33,000 children and their families in New England alone.

Fellows will spend six months at Tufts Medical Center, the tertiary care facility for the Tufts University-Affiliated Hospitals in New England.

Responding to our communities' needs.

The Chen lab develops novel imaging methods to understand mechanisms of cardiovascular disease, to image disease as it progresses and to improve cardiovascular outcomes by targeting or monitoring therapies using molecular imaging. He is applying these novel technologies to heart failure and cardio-oncology.
