Welcome to the TBRC

The Transplantation Biology Research Center (TBRC) is a multi-disciplinary research group working at the interface between basic science and clinical applications in transplantation immunology. The center is housed in a research facility at the Charlestown Navy Yard and is a unit within the Department of Surgery at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). All of the senior researchers hold joint appointments at the Massachusetts General Hospital and at Harvard Medical School.

Education
Fellowships are available for M.D. and Ph.D. predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees which permit them to participate both in research and clinical programs in the field of transplantation. The training program is under the direction of David H. Sachs, M.D., the director of the TBRC at the MGH. The program faculty consists of active, funded investigators with expertise in many areas of research related to transplantation biology, all of whom have experience in training students and fellows.
