The M.S. program provides comprehensive interdisciplinary education across key Biomedical Sciences disciplines. Designed to prepare students for careers in research and academia, it combines theoretical knowledge with practical laboratory skills through coursework and hands-on training. Thesis candidates conduct original research under faculty supervision, with five specialization tracks: Cancer Biology and Genetics, Infectious Disease and Immunity, Molecular and Cellular Biosciences, Neuroscience, and Organ Systems and Translational Medicine. Non-thesis students complete coursework across all five disciplines.
The Organ Systems and Translational Medicine (OSTM) specialization bridges biological science and medical practice. Available to PhD, MD/PhD, and MS candidates at Temple University's Lewis Katz School of Medicine, OSTM draws faculty from diverse departments including Anatomy, Pharmacology, and various research centers. This concentration fosters partnerships between researchers and clinicians, offering training in areas like cardiovascular disease, stem cell biology, and metabolic disorders while emphasizing translational approaches to medical challenges.
