Message from the Directors

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST) community.

For more than 35 years, HST has been a pioneer in interdisciplinary educational and research programs designed to educate outstanding minds, cultivate leaders, create knowledge, and generate cost-effective preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic innovations.

Today, HST draws upon the extraordinary resources of Harvard, MIT, and their research centers and Harvard Medical School's teaching hospitals to provide students and faculty with a unique range of educational and research opportunities.

It is our commitment to our graduates that, when they leave HST, they will be fluent in the language of the laboratory and the language of the clinic.

We invite you to explore the HST web site in depth to learn more about our educational and research programs, and how you can become involved in our community as a student or as a mentor.
