Iris Zamir Jaffe is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine and a staff member of the Division of Cardiology at Tufts Medical Center. Dr. Jaffe is the co-Director of the MCRC and Chair of the Department of Medicine's Women in Medicine Committee. She received her M.D. and Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. She did her Ph.D. research in the laboratory of Dr. Mitchell Lazar where she studied the mechanism of transcriptional repression by nuclear hormone receptors. She trained as a medical resident at the Massachusetts General Hospital followed by a fellowship in Cardiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Iris completed her postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Michael Mendelsohn within the MCRI. The Jaffe laboratory is studying the role of vascular mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) in vascular cell function and disease. The lab uses molecular approaches to study the mechanisms of gene regulation by MR in human vascular cells and employs animal models to study the role of MR in vascular dysfunction and atherosclerosis.
