About the Program
Translational Life Science Technology (TLST) is a unique degree designed for students who want to be competitive in the biotechnology industry. This degree program combines the theory of a traditional life science degree with hands-on, real-world applications of the process for turning scientific discoveries into life-saving solutions. Students who complete this degree will have a comprehensive understanding of the following areas as they apply to the design and development of diagnostics, therapeutics, vaccines, and other biotechnology products answering current and emerging health and environment risks:
cell biology
lab instrumentation
bioinformatics
biostatistics
epidemiology
biochemical engineering
The TLST degree is for students looking to apply their skills and interest in the life sciences to creating innovative biotechnology solutions that will transform the health, agriculture, and environment sectors. In addition, students will master critical skills such as analytical thinking, data analysis, and the ability to work in a team. These skills, combined with the knowledge of science gained in the TLST program, will provide students with the tools necessary to succeed in the modern era of life sciences where scientific discoveries are translated from “bench-to-bedside.”
