About this programme

To lay the foundation for molecular disease research, Medical Life Sciences provides knowledge in human biology, pathology and systems biology. Genomic diagnostics, bioinformatics, medical statistics, molecular biology, clinical cell biology and human genetics make the interfaces between medicine and the sciences visible. Please note that you need bioinformatics, statistics and maths for everything you do in molecular disease research. Sound foundations in maths and statistics are essential. Evolutionary Medicine investigates how interrelations between humans and their environment have led to current disease susceptibility. Why do we suffer from chronic diseases? Why are certain genetic variants maintained in populations despite their disease risk? Inflammation takes you into the molecular mechanisms of chronic inflammatory diseases, the causal network between inflammatory processes and disease, genetics and environment. Oncology leads you into molecular research of malignant diseases, the interplay of genetics and environment, cell biology of tumours and many other aspects. Experts in their fields guide you through lectures and seminars. Lab practicals and project work as well as the Master's thesis provide opportunities to be involved in research projects. Genomic diagnostics, bioinformatics and medical statistics revolve around programming to analyse big data. You choose electives that complement your focus area. Tracing Disease through Time looks at disease aetiology by a
