MORI, a core component of the Cancer Center at Tufts Medical Center, currently has 17 faculty members and occupies a space of more than 44,000 square feet in the 75 Kneeland Street research building. Its mission is to explore the molecular mechanisms of neoplastic transformation and to promote the translation of basic research findings into the clinic. To achieve this goal, MORI scientists carry out research that spans the spectrum from gene discovery to target validation for drug development.
