MS in Regenerative and Stem Cell Technologies

Regenerative and stem cell technologies have the potential to revolutionize treatments for numerous diseases and health conditions. Students in the Master of Science in Regenerative and Stem Cell Technologies program develop the expertise needed to advance in this rapidly growing field. The program also provides students a chance to collaborate with JHU’s research faculty during a brief lab residency that offers hands-on experience.

The program can be tailored for numerous career goals with electives that span an array of specializations. Specializations include:

• Bioinformatics
• Epigenetics
• Human molecular genetics
• Immunology
• Personalized medicine
• Pharmacology
• Recombinant DNA

This 10-course degree program offers an option to complete a thesis, is offered part time or full time, and can be completed 95% online. With a one-week lab residency, students find the flexibility needed to meet work and life commitments while preparing to advance in this emerging field.
