Sackler’s
Mission |
|
|
|
The
Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences was established
by the trustees of Tufts University on July 1, 1980, through
the gifts of the late Dr. Arthur M. Sackler, Dr. Mortimer D.
Sackler, and Dr. Raymond R. Sackler.
The Sackler School's mission is to graduate highly educated
biomedical scientists. Collaborative and interdisciplinary research
spanning basic and clinical disciplines is emphasized. Specific
goals of the school are:
|
• |
to
provide a graduate education program in the biomedical
sciences for future leaders in research, teaching,
biotechnology and other science-based careers, stressing
interdisciplinary approaches that will integrate basic
and clinical sciences |
|
| |
• |
to promote
interaction and cooperation among biomedical faculty,
involving both basic and clinical sciences in the search
for ways to alleviate disease and suffering |
|
| |
• |
to provide
opportunities for integrative programs in the Tufts
scientific community, through research, educational programs
and seminars that cross the boundaries of disciplines. |

A new nine-story research building, the Jaharis
Family Center for Biomedical and Nutrition Sciences, provides
research laboratories and offices for many Sackler faculty members
and their students, postdoctoral fellows and technical staff.
The Jaharis Center, dedicated November 1, 2002, also includes
laboratories and offices of the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman
School of Nutrition Science and Policy and the Department of
Community Health and Family Medicine of Tufts University School
of Medicine.
On three floors this new research building is connected, by
short bridges, to a complex of four adjoining, eight-story buildings,
where most of the remaining laboratories and offices of the
Sackler School faculty are located. The main entrance to this
complex is at 136 Harrison Avenue. |
