Science Masters Program in Translational Biotechnology

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。科学硕士转化生物技术硕士课程在学术机构和美国不断发展的生物技术行业需要训练有素的科学家。有许多有吸引力和高薪的工作机会，是支持产品发现，产品开发，制造，测试和商业化不可或缺的。这些活动是公司的基础，并且在学术环境中越来越重要，新技术在进入商业部门之前正在人体中进行测试。 科学硕士转化生物技术课程将使学生获得科学/工程和商业/管理知识和技能的专业知识，以满足雇主的需求，并为毕业生就业做好准备。 该计划汇集了生物科学和商业的学科，是研究密集型的，有深入的行业参与，包括正式的实习。 通过这一创新计划，研究生课程将为毕业生提供更多的职业选择，并为失业和失业/就业不足的工人创造一条可应用于这一高技能高工资行业的再培训和技能发展的途径。有才华的美国公民将被招募到这个研究生课程，教育和培训的知识和技能，是行业高度追求，并投入全职工作。 当被公司和研究机构雇用时，转化生物技术科学硕士课程的毕业生将促进新治疗产品的开发，促进经济发展，改善我们公民的福祉。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5).Science Master's Program in Translational Biotechnology Master's-level trained scientists are needed within academic institutions and America's growing biotechnology industry. There are many attractive and well paying job opportunities that are integral in supporting product discovery, product development, manufacturing, testing, and commercialization. These activities are foundational for companies, and are increasingly gaining importance in the academic setting where new technologies are being tested in humans prior to entering the commercial sector. The Science Master's Program in Translational Biotechnology will enable students to acquire expertise in both scientific/engineering and business/managerial knowledge and skills that meet the needs of employers and prepare graduates for employment. The program brings together disciplines in biosciences and business, and is research intensive with deep industry involvement, including a formal internship. Through this innovative program, the graduate-level curriculum will provide graduates with additional career options, and will create a pathway for displaced and unemployed/underemployed workers for re-training and skill development that can be applied to this high-skill high-wage industry. Talented US citizens will be recruited into this graduate program, educated and trained with knowledge and skills that are highly sought by industry, and placed into full-time employment. When hired by companies and research institutes, the graduates of the Science Master's Program in Translational Biotechnology will facilitate the development of new therapeutic products, promote economic development, and improve the well being of our citizens.
