Research

Faculty, staff, and students actively engage in research projects, to advance the knowledge, study, instruction, and practice of veterinary medicine. Collaboration with Tufts University faculty, peers and colleagues from across the country and around the globe ensures that Cummings School’s clinics and hospitals remain on the forefront of the latest innovations to teach its students, treat its patients, and serve its clients.

Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine collaborates with pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology companies, assisting corporate sponsors with animal model development, discovery, and proof-of-concept studies for preclinical testing of novel compounds and medical devices in a wide array of species. We have the technology, expertise, facilities, and experience to develop products for veterinary and human health markets.

Veterinary experts facilitate product development for veterinary and human health markets, bridging the gap between animals and people, and between proof-of-concept and clinical trials. Our strengths include working with large animal models, experimental surgery, regenerative medicine, ABSL2 and ABSL3 containment, orthopedics, MRI and CT imaging, pulmonology, and pathology.
