Master of Translational Medicine
A Program to Navigate the Journey From Ideation to Implementation
The Master of Translational Medicine Degree is a Professional Masters and a place where students gain the knowledge and skills necessary to bring medical innovation from the engineer’s bench to the patient’s bedside.
Backed by two world-class institutions – the Department of Bioengineering at UC Berkeley and the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences at UCSF – the program empowers students to explore and make new discoveries in the field.
Graduates are using their hands-on and real world experience from the program to change the way products are brought to life today.
MTM offers two tracks: medical devices and therapeutics. Both tracks will explore how medical products move from concept, to clinical trials, into commercialization. The medical device track will cover ideation and prototyping while the therapeutics track will explore the pathways of biopharma innovations from hits to leads.
