Participate in Research
At Mass General Brigham, we know the importance of research and innovation, and our patients' role in it.
Our founding hospitals have a long tradition of medical breakthroughs, from the first use of ether for surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital to the first successful organ transplant at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
Almost every treatment, test, drug, or medical device is a result of successful research, dependent on patients like you.
