Welcome from the TBMH staff
Welcome to the Translational Biology, Medicine, and Health (TBMH) graduate program, an interdisciplinary, multi-collegial program at Virginia Tech. Our program will prepare you to understand how your research drives medicine and health advancements from lab bench to patient bedside. The TBMH program allows students to focus on understanding real-world problems within the biomedical sciences, aimed at creating solutions that cannot be siloed within one discipline or department.
