MCM Faculty
Interdisciplinary faculty and resources are drawn broadly from all schools at Tufts University including the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, School of Engineering, Fletcher School, School of Medicine and the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy, and from the Consortium for Conservation Medicine.
The MCM program's diverse faculty—which includes wildlife veterinarians, epidemiologists, ecologists, large animal veterinarians, policy experts, environmental engineers and others—has pursued research at home and around the world in infectious disease transmission, environmental toxicants, humane animal population control and environmental monitoring. The program collaborates across disciplines within the veterinary school, across the University, and with colleagues around the world, in research as well as in teaching.
