Immune Engineering and Cell and Gene Therapies have the potential to revolutionize treatments and deliver cures for numerous diseases and health conditions. MS and PhD programs from the School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems at Drexel University allow students to develop the expertise needed to advance in this rapidly growing field. BIOMED@Drexel has robust collaboration with surrounding area academic units (DUCOM, Upenn, Wistar, Thomas Jefferson, CHOP to include a few) which directly benefit our students’ ability to learn and work with Philadelphia’s top researchers in all areas of biomedical engineering and science. Due to strong concentration of life sciences research and high wages for industry professional, Philadelphia ranks as one of the best life sciences cities in the U.S., and it’s only expected to rise in the rankings with additional companies moving into the area.

!!!COMINGS SOON!!!: MS in Advanced Therapies program enables students with science and/or engineering backgrounds to specialize their expertise and advance future medical breakthroughs through the design and development of next generation therapeutics. Students will gain critical knowledge, experience and technical skills in emerging technologies including cell and gene therapy, immunotherapy and immune engineering, genomics and personalized medicine. The Advanced Therapies MS is a hands-on, interdisciplinary program that utilizes the expertise of multiple academic units and leverages various industry partnerships in the Philadelphia’s Cellicon Valley, home to the first FDA-approved cell and gene therapies. MS in Advanced Therapies can be completed on a full or part time basis and requires 45 term credits, students have an option to include three- or six-month graduate co-op that allows them gain hands-on experience in industry completed during the course of their program. Graduate Co-ops are paid or unpaid opportunities to expand a student's professional network, enhance their resume and skillset, and to be more competitive for post-graduation employment.
