Laboratories + Facilities

The Hematology/Oncology research teams at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, share a mission to explore the molecular mechanisms of neoplastic transformation and promoting the translation of basic research findings into diagnostics and therapies to help patients in the clinic. To achieve this objective, scientists carry out research that spans the spectrum from gene discovery to target validation for drug development.

Nephrology Research

Physician-researchers in the Tufts Medical Center William B. Schwartz Division of Nephrology lead the way in conducting clinical research to define chronic kidney disease and have written the guidelines for its medical management.

Covic Lab

In the Covic laboratory, we study a novel class of cell surface proteins known as protease-activated receptors.

Buchsbaum Lab

The Buchsbaum Laboratory focuses on studying signal transduction pathways underlying cancer cell growth and metastasis. In particular, we are interested in pathways involving the Rac protein, a member of the Ras superfamily that is a central player in multiple signaling pathways affecting malignant cell behavior.

Ophthalmology Research

The Department of Ophthalmology’s research portfolio is robust.
