MS in Biomedical Research Technologies at Boston University

The Master of Science in Biomedical Research Technologies is a new one-year program designed to prepare students for careers in biomedical research. The degree equips students with a solid grasp of the principles underlying various research core technologies operations, their relevance to an array of biomedical problems, and the technical skills to implement these technologies.

Program Overview

Application of advanced technologies is at the core of biomedical sciences. Biomedical research cores have developed over the years as centralized expertise to help advance biomedical research. Biological and medical sciences have made great strides owing also to the development and application of such technical expertise, whether through proficiency in viewing cells in motion (imaging core), analyzing genes and gene expression (genomics core), or protein profiling (proteomics core), to name a few.

These developments and an increased reliance on technology have created a demand for skilled individuals with the ability to understand and develop new biological technologies to investigate biological problems.
