| Nobel Prize recipient Dr. E. Donnall Thomas, who was Physician-in-Chief at Bassett Hospital from 1955 to 1963 | Bassett Healthcare's Research Institute has developed from a long history of innovative research dating back to the origins of the organization. Research is one of Bassett's founding missions along with education and patient care, allowing the attraction of dedicated and innovative staff. Many renowned researchers have been affiliated with Bassett, bringing national and international recognition to this institution.
Early ambulation after surgery, a basis for today's "same-day" surgery, was conceived by Bassett surgeon Dr. John H. Powers in the 1940s. In the 1950s and 1960s, Drs. E. Donnall Thomas, Joseph Ferrebee and David Blumenstock pioneered innovative research in bone marrow transplantation, performing the world's first human organ transplant at Bassett in 1956. Dr. Thomas received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1990 for his work in transplantation. Other Nobelists with ties to Bassett include Dr. Christian Anfinsen and Dr. Jean Daussett. Studies by Dr. Theodore Peters, Jr. and Dr. Charles Ashley first explained the biosynthetic pathway of albumin, the major protein of blood plasma. Efforts to characterize albumin led to the discovery of a variant form of albumin, now known as "Albumin Cooperstown".
The tradition of innovation and excellence in research continues with programs in basic science, clinical science, and population and public health studies. The Research Institute of Bassett Healthcare remains committed to the legacy of its predecessors, seeking new information and new strategies for preventing, detecting and treating disease.
