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!
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 always had the dilemma of deciding between Medicine and Electrical Engineering. Hopefully this Master will lay the foundations and build a solid background for my future research I always dreamt of doing, combining Engineering with Medicine but in a practical and innovative way.
I chose this master program because my personal research interest includes Machine Learning prototypes in medicine and datasets acquired from biomedical processes.
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.
Learn from professors and researchers from top-ranking engineering Schools at a world-class Technical University.
Academically rigorous coursework that links research-backed concepts to practice and accelerates impact in the healthcare domain.
Cultivate entrepreneurial skills to deliver high-impact solutions powered by deep science and technology.
Gain hands-on experience in the healthcare domain and build your professional network by interacting and connecting with a diverse community of experts from the industry, clinical sector, and regulatory bodies.
Opportunities for internships and a richer academic experience are available to students through a strategic collaboration with Columbia University and the support of Bodossaki Foundation.
