Medicine

With its 31 departments and 22 institutes, the Faculty of Medicine offers a broad range of basic and clinical research activities. Of growing importance is translational research, aimed at translating the findings of basic research “from bench to bedside”, into improved diagnostic tools and more effective therapies for the benefit of the patient. The research landscape at the University Hospital is thus characterised by a high degree of cross-linking, with all departments and institutes participating in one or more of the main research areas of Cardiovascular Medicine, Oncology and Transplantation, and the recent additions Genetic Medicine and Immunology and Infectiology.
