Susan Desmond-Hellmann describes UCSF's new Masters of Translational Medicine program, which combines life sciences and engineering to innovate in medicine and reduce healthcare costs while improving reliability and predictability.
The other big idea that we've implemented at UCSF and is in its very early stages is a degree granting program called an mtm, A Masters of Translational Medicine. And this is a program designed to bring together life sciences experts, physicians, scientists with engineers, computational experts, bioinformatics experts, to see if there are ways of bringing these two discipline areas together that we can increase the likelihood of success, increase the reliability and predictability of what we do in medicine. And ultimately, what I would love to see is could we innovate in life sciences to bring down costs? So as I watch the high tech industry and I'm a consumer of high tech products, every time I buy a new ipod, it's better and cheaper. Every time someone comes to my hospital for a new X ray, it's better, it's not cheaper. So what would it look like in life sciences that as we iterate, each subsequent generation of product is less expensive and more reliable? And if we don't accept that challenge, we'll price ourselves out of business? In the health sciences area, maybe already are. But what would it take to innovate in product development, in delivery, and in how we think about health and wellness that could really change the game? And I think by putting the brightest minds together, it gives me some confidence that that's where we'll end up in the.
