About this programme

The Master's programme in Molecular Medicine is characterised by practice orientation with four focus areas: Immunology: Exploring the focus area of immunology will allow students to gain a sound knowledge of the complex processes involved in the regulation of cellular and immunological processes in both humans and animals. The immunological processes are thus examined in association with disease-induced malfunctions, for example in the case of immunity defects. The lectures in the series "Advanced Immunology" cover the detailed mechanisms of the immune system, including an examination of the recent discoveries made in cellular and molecular immunology. The main lecture comprises the evolution of immune systems, therapeutic antibodies, computational immunobiology, antigen processing, cellular communication, negative and positive regulatory mechanisms in immunity, interaction between immune systems, and pathogens and pathomechanisms. Infection Biology: Viral infections, the threat of pandemics, and the emergence of antibiotic resistance have made clear the enormity of the unmet medical needs in infectious diseases. Special emphasis is currently being placed on issues such as the development of new antibiotics, malaria, and viral oncogenesis. The Departments of Medical Microbiology, Virology, and Tropical Medicine meet this need by harnessing the current explosion of new information about the basic biology of pathogens and host responses in order to develop novel therapeutics t
