The Master of Biomedical Innovation (MBI) program is a multidisciplinary, project-oriented graduate program focused on bridging the gap between technology development and its transfer into local, national, and international biomedical markets.
By linking the theory and practice of the biomedical innovation process, the program delivers a systematic but responsive approach to the critical, emerging discipline of innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E).
