Featured Courses
Founded more than 30 years ago, HST is one of the
oldest and largest biomedical engineering and physician-scientist
training programs in the United States and the longest-standing
collaboration between Harvard and MIT.
From the beginning, HST
pioneered a new way of thinking about the very processes that govern
life and disease, breaking down barriers that impede interdisciplinary
education and collaborative research and creating an environment that
brings innovation from the laboratory bench to the bedside, and
clinical insight from the bedside to the bench.HST students work with eminent faculty from throughout the Harvard and MIT communities; and are trained to have a deep understanding of engineering, physical sciences and the biological sciences, complemented with hands-on experience in the clinic or industry. Students become conversant with the underlying quantitative and molecular aspects of medicine and biomedical science.
HST's research enterprise leverages the extraordinary resources of Harvard and MIT, as well as those of its affiliated teaching hospitals and research centers, to train scientists who are committed to exploring the fundamental principles underlying health and diseases, and who are seeking new pharmaceuticals and devices to alleviate human suffering.
HST's research initiatives build on interdisciplinary areas that focus on advancing improvements in human health. HST has three targeted focus areas:
- Biomedical Imaging
- Biomedical Informatics and Integrative Biology
- Regenerative and Functional Biomedical Technologies
