Medicine and Dentistry

The Master Program in Medical Laboratory Science and Biotechnology (MLSB) aims to develop skilled professionals in laboratory medicine and biotechnology. Our program collaborates with clinical laboratories and industrial institutions to cultivate experts in biomedical research, developing innovative laboratory reagents and biotechnological products with potential to enhance medical technologies in the field of healthcare.

The School of Dentistry's Master Program is designed to offer exceptional students an unparalleled opportunity to gain expertise in cutting-edge research and advanced dental-related clinical care. Our program emphasizes a range of research areas, including oral cancers, CAD/CAM digital manufacturing, artificial intelligence, regenerative medicine, and dental-related clinical trials.

This Master's program, established in the College of Oral Medicine, is the only program of its kind dedicated to dental technology. Our comprehensive curriculum integrates professional theories from both the School of Dentistry and the School of Oral Hygiene, allowing students to develop a diverse range of skills. We provide dental professionals with knowledge of dental materials, 3-D printing, and CAD/CAM strategies.

At our program, we strive to create a rich interdisciplinary learning experience by combining expertise from a variety of fields, including molecular/cancer biology, animal disease models, aging research, proteomics, and structural biology. Our focus is on discovering clinical biomarkers in key fields such as oncology, neuroscience, reproductive medicine, and regenerative medicine.

To meet the increasing demand for personalized patient care using cell/stem cell-based therapy, TMU established the Research Center of Cell Therapy and Regeneration Medicine (TMU-CCTRM) and a Good Tissue Practice (GTP) Laboratory. Faculty members and researchers from five departments across the College of Medicine and College of Medical Science and Technology contribute their diverse expertise to the program, providing graduate students with unique learning opportunities to develop their experimental and practical skills.

This Master’s program aims to cultivate research talents with basic knowledge and learning attitudes in cancer biology and drug research. Our program emphasizes the originality and independent thinking, problem-solving techniques, empirical medical research capabilities, international vision and communication skills, cross-domain integration of pharmaceutical research and development of technology, as well as the clinical translation skills, etc.

The International Ph.D. Program in Medicine (IGPM) recruited its first batch of students in 2016. Supported by over 300 faculty members in the College of Medicine, IGPM students have access to a wide variety of knowledge and expertise when deciding their advisory committee.

The International School of Medicine department’s entire program is in English. In the preparatory class, the students reach the English language proficiency required for professional, academic and societal issues. Afterwards, they start the medical education program, which provides horizontal integration among basic sciences as well as vertical integration between basic sciences and clinical sciences in the preclinical period.

The first-year courses comprise lectures and laboratory, and preclinical activities in basic sciences, dental anatomy, occlusion, and dental materials. In the second year, students are expected to develop additional preclinical skills, learn how basic science principles are applied to clinical settings, and get involved in clinical applications. Students who complete the first two years are awarded a basic medical sciences diploma.

The MEDTEC degree programme will enable the student to treat patients through the management of technological developments in Medicine and its related sectors, including disease prevention and treatment, patient rehabilitation and the development of innovative diagnostic and therapeutic solutions. The integrated six-year training course will allow you to obtain additional ECTS and be awarded a Bachelor’s Degree in Biomedical Engineering from the Politecnico di Milano, in addition to a degree in Medicine and Surgery.
