Overview
It covers disciplines such as mechanics of biological systems; bioelectronics and biosensing; bioimaging and biophotonics; signal processing and data analysis; bioinformatics and biostatistics as well as important aspects of current biomedical research and applied engineering technologies for fields such as Molecular Medicine, Tissue Engineering, Oncology, Immunology, Neuroprosthetics, Neurosciences, Brain-Machine Interface and Biocomputational Sciences.
The Master in Life Sciences Engineering from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne aims to train young scientists capable of addressing research and development issues with a deep understanding of the biological context and engineering aspects of development of new technologies.
The courses and specializations offered in the program reflect this ambition. This transdisciplinary philosophy is also reflected in research in life sciences as it is conducted at EPFL.
This degree covers both theoretical foundations and practical aspects of the discipline.
Career options:
Potential employment opportunities after graduation are many, including the biomedical, biotech and pharma sectors or in research, either fundamental or translational, as well as in finance, consulting or the regulatory affairs and public health sectors.
The program is an excellent preparation, for both the option of doing a PhD or working in industry or start-ups
