Support Faculty

Ekaterina “Katya” Heldwein

Talented faculty are at the very heart of Tufts University School of Medicine. Our faculty are innovative scientists and caring physicians from around the world. Their research and teaching advance the fields of health and medicine, improve the lives of individuals and communities, and educate the next generation of healers.

Transformative Learning. Profound Discovery. Diverse Perspectives.

When you support Tufts faculty, you give our students access to the best minds in medicine. You ensure they gain the academic foundation, technical skills, and clinical experience they need to shape a healthier future for humanity.

Your gift also gives our outstanding educators the freedom to develop and pursue bold new approaches to teaching, research, and clinical care. Gifts help us attract and retain physicians, scientists, and healthcare professionals who represent a wide range of backgrounds, career phases, and specialties.

What You Can Support

There are a number of different ways you can help us recruit, support, and retain the faculty members that make Tufts such an extraordinary place to pursue a medical education.

Endowed Professorships

Endowed professorships help us attract and retain world-class senior faculty and rising young stars. Your gift can be directed to a professor with expertise in your specific area of interest.

Startup Funds and Research Funds

Startup funds and research funds allow us to set up labs for cutting-edge researchers and promote collaboration that leads to breakthrough discoveries.

Being named to a professorship has a major impact on the way that I am perceived in the field. I’m viewed as more established. That will likely translate into invitations to give presentations, favorable grant reviews, and other outcomes that will enhance my research.
