Description

Translational Medical Research concentrates on the interface between experimental basic science and clinical medicine. The aim is thus to 'translate' knowledge, mechanisms and techniques generated by basic science research into new approaches for diagnosis and treatment of disease. The reverse is also true, namely to translate clinical observations into new research questions.

The recent far-reaching and dynamic developments in molecular and cellular research set high standards for the training of future clinicians capable of working in this field. Equally, these developments dictate the need for scientists who are able to understand the rationale behind diagnosis and therapy, who can guide the use of new molecular therapies in individual patients, and who are committed to transferring scientific knowledge into clinical practice. Interdisciplinary cooperation is an essential key to success in this endeavour.

Our compact, one-year Master of Science program focuses on meeting these demands, and systematically provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to participate in the frontier of translational medical research. Reflecting the research foci of our faculty, students can choose to specialize in Molecular Oncology, Neurobiology or Vascular Medicine.
