The MTM Community

Once you’re a part of the MTM community, you’ll always be a part of it. Building a long-term network of collaborators is important to us. Students and alumni alike work together and stay connected.

The MTM community is more than a network — it’s an ecosystem rooted in collaboration, curiosity, and a shared drive to improve healthcare. Spanning across UC Berkeley and UCSF, this community brings together individuals from diverse backgrounds and disciplines who are united by a passion for translational medicine.

Through capstone collaborations, classroom dialogue, mentorship, or shared ventures, the MTM experience is deeply enriched by ongoing interaction across generations and sectors. The result is a tight-knit, forward-thinking community that continues to grow — and continues to support innovation in healthcare long after the classroom experience ends.

Our Students

The experience of students in the MTM program is unlike other graduate programs. Students come to the MTM from a wide-array of backgrounds and experiences with one goal: to foster innovation.
