Faculty
Professionals, not professors.
Our faculty have hands-on experience developing and commercializing medical devices. Their teaching bridges theory and practice, drawn from real challenges across the product lifecycle. Students also engage with 20+ guest lecturers, venture capitalists and founders throughout the year.
