Learn how to turn basic discoveries that occur in laboratories to usable drugs, medical devices or clinical processes through our Master in Clinical Translation Management program.

To be successful in this field, you need a solid understanding of the biotechnology industry, as well as the business and regulatory savviness needed to assess a product’s commercial potential and navigate the path of clinical translation. It can be a highly regulated and capital-intensive process.

Our program is primarily online, with less than 12 face-to-face class days, and will help you:

• Integrate the fundamental concepts of science and business, and apply that knowledge to the biotech industry
• Evaluate and act on opportunities that arise in the biotech field
• Identify and address the critical issues facing biotech organizations
