Translational Engineering is the process of translating engineering research findings and discoveries into innovations and functional products. Applications of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine focus on the development of devices and services to improve the public and individual health.
The M.Sc. in Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine, organized by the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), in collaboration with the School of Mechanical Engineering, is designed to prepare students to pioneer the transformation of innovative technologies into commercial devices and services with a significant socioeconomic impact in the field of Health. The program builds on NTUA's decades of foundational work in biomedical engineering and science and focuses on cultivating deep knowledge and catalyzing interdisciplinary efforts to address urgent healthcare challenges.
Students study and work on cutting-edge topics in biomedical data science and artificial intelligence, neuroengineering, multiscale modeling, digital health, intelligent reality, healthcare robotics, and biomedical microelectromechanical systems (BioMEMs) among others. The curriculum focuses on instilling entrepreneurial and leadership skills in students as well as exposing them to all of the steps involved in translating research discoveries into innovative medical products and services. The program fosters a multidisciplinary and multisectoral approach through student internships in research labs, clinical departments, and industry.
Do you have a degree in Engineering, Life Sciences, or a similar field? Are you interested in discovering new knowledge at the interface of Engineering and Life Sciences? Do you enjoy working in multidisciplinary teams to develop breakthrough health-tech products and services? Are you looking for an academically rigorous training that will allow you to apply real-time your knowledge for an accelerated impact in healthcare? Then, you are welcome to apply!
This internship gave me the chance to work on cutting-edge projects and connect with brilliant researchers at Columbia University's Laboratory for Intelligent Imaging and Neural Computing. I am truly thankful to Master TEAM for providing this unique opportunity.
My time at Columbia University's Ultrasound and Elasticity Imaging Lab was a thrilling journey into the world of groundbreaking research. Immersed in a vibrant, collaborative environment, I was inspired to dive deeper into the field of biomedical engineering, sparking a renewed dedication to my academic path and reinforcing my commitment to push the boundaries of science.
Immersing myself in the Artificial Intelligence for Vision Science lab at Columbia University's Ophthalmology Department was an extraordinary experience that profoundly deepened my understanding of AI's applications within my field of expertise. I am deeply grateful to the Master TEAM for placing me in a lab that holds the potential to be transformative in my efforts to bridge clinical practice with cutting-edge research.
I was looking for an interdisciplinary curriculum that would give me the opportunity to investigate and innovate a healthier world for everybody.
I was thrilled to join Columbia University as a visiting scholar in Elisa Konofagou's Ultrasound and Elasticity Imaging Lab. This internship was truly an enriching experience, and I'm grateful to Master TEAM for this invaluable opportunity in the heart of New York.
I chose Master TEAM to get a holistic and deeper view of the Biomedical Engineering research field and explore ways to establish innovative products out of it.
I am grateful for the opportunity provided by Master TEAM to visit Columbia University's Biomaterials and Interface Tissue Engineering Laboratory. This invaluable experience will forever remain etched in my academic journey. It has not only enriched my knowledge base but also provided a clear direction for my future pursuits.
I choose Master TEAM, because it provides a combination of entrepreneurship and biomedical engineering skills. I had a cardiovascular health issue, so it is my life purpose to help people through biomedical engineering.
