The Master of Medical Sciences in Therapeutic Sciences program is a cutting-edge master's degree program that provides world-class training in early drug discovery and prepares students to pursue research careers in pharmaceutical companies, biotech firms, academic labs, and research institutes.
The rigorous program curriculum delivered by the world-renowned faculty provides the knowledge, skills, and experiences students need to excel as laboratory research scientists in biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, and assay development. Beyond the classroom, each student will be immersed in a hands-on thesis research project under the mentorship of Harvard Medical School faculty, starting in their second semester. The Program was intentionally designed to maximize the time spent in the lab, allowing our students to put conceptual knowledge into practice and perfect their bench skills.
