Molecular Medicine

The goal of the degree program is to teach the knowledge, abilities, and skills necessary to conduct independent scientific work in biomedical research, development, diagnostics, and production. Graduates of the program should be capable of:

- formulating scientific questions in theoretical or clinical research independently and addressing them with modern methodology,

- linking content and questions of medicine with ways of thinking and working from the natural sciences,

- thinking beyond the bounds of individual disciplines and applying interdisciplinary knowledge to clinical questions,

- applying statistical procedures and models for describing life processes to questions of clinical and experimental medicine,

- illustrating scientific findings and concepts in written and oral form using medical terms and taking into account their ethical and legal background,

- with the goal of explaining the causes of illnesses on the molecular level through the methods of molecular biology and cell biology and using this knowledge to derive new possibilities for diagnostics, therapy, and prevention.
