[BOSTON, Mass. – March 30, 2018] Leaders from Tufts Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) and The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) today announced a new five-year collaboration to advance translational research, with the goal of helping bring the latest research into medical practice faster and more efficiently to improve patient care.

"Over nearly nine decades The Jackson Laboratory has made fundamental contributions to biomedical research, as a leader in both mammalian genetics and most recently, human genomics," says Graham Jones, PhD, Tufts CTSI Associate Director and Director of Research Collaborations. "Building on existing relationships with the doctoral program in genetics at the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at Tufts, Tufts CTSI is delighted to welcome JAX as a formal collaborator, where synergies in translational research will be exploited in emerging areas of immunology and oncology, among others."

The JAX/Tufts CTSI collaboration will strengthen and expand research and training programs in clinical and translational science, including:

  • Research consultations and collaborations with faculty.
  • Internship/externships and collaborative research ventures for postgraduate fellows and career development scholars.
  • Development of joint training programs and educational platforms.
  • Expansion of PhD programs with the Sackler School.
  • Development and delivery of training modules via the Sackler School in rapidly emerging research areas such as CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technologies.
  • Continued cross-registration between the JAX Genetics Program and the Sackler School.

Researchers affiliated with JAX will be able to access Tufts CTSI resources and services including research design and analysis, clinical studies infrastructure, pilot studies funding, and fellowships and trainee support.

"The opportunity to improve patient care by fast-tracking impactful, collaborative research is crucial to enhancing the way we approach medicine today," said Kenneth Fasman, PhD, Vice President for Research at The Jackson Laboratory. "We are thrilled to work toward that goal with Tufts CTSI, whose very mission embodies this work."
