About
The Models to Medicine Center harnesses campus research strengths in life sciences to foster translational applications, create synergistic ties with industry, and improve the training of future life scientists, especially those who will join the workforce in the commonwealth.
Established in 2013, the center advances translational research at UMass and supports life sciences driven economic development. The Models to Medicine Center is one of three centers supported with more than $150 million in capital investments to date by the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center and UMass Amherst as part of the university’s new Institute for Applied Life Sciences (IALS).
