Education and Training

Join leading research in organ and bone marrow transplantation at the Center for Transplantation Sciences (CTS).

At the CTS, we believe that the future of transplantation medicine lies in nurturing the next generation of scientists and clinicians. Our comprehensive education and training programs are designed to cultivate young talent and drive innovation in this critical field.

Training Program in Transplantation Biology (5T32AI007529)

Our NIH-funded T32 program serves as the cornerstone of our educational efforts, providing a unique environment where young scientists and physician-scientists can thrive. Key features include:

• Diverse research opportunities: Trainees engage in projects that span basic molecular immunology to clinical applications.
• Expert mentorship: Participants receive guidance from accomplished MD and PhD scientists dedicated to transplantation.
• Interdisciplinary approach: The program emphasizes collaboration between clinical care and basic science.

This program builds on the dynamic environment at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, optimizing individual training experiences by:

• Expanding into new areas of research
• Actively recruiting trainees and faculty from underrepresented groups
• Advancing excellence in transplantation research

CTS also offers various educational opportunities, including:

• Seminars and workshops: Regular sessions with leading experts in transplantation biology.
• Clinical observerships: Firsthand experience in clinical transplantation practices.
• Research symposia: Annual events for trainees to present their findings and network within the community.

By investing in education and training, CTS empowers future leaders who will innovate and improve outcomes for patients awaiting life-saving transplants. Join us in shaping the future of transplantation medicine, making a lasting impact on patient care.
