Modern Medicine and the understanding of physiological and pathophysiological phenomena in terms of molecular and cellular bioscience (as e.g.: medical biophysics & biochemistry, cell biology, molecular and cellular physiology, medical genetics) are intimately related. In order to effectively improve human health, scientific discoveries at the molecular and cellular level must be translated into practical application. Typically, such discoveries begin at “the bench” with basic research – then progress to the clinical level, or the patient’s “bedside”.

The Curriculum is intended to forge a uniquely transformative, novel and integrative academic home for clinical and translational bioscience at the molecular and cellular level that has the consolidated resources to: (i) captivate, advance and nurture a cadre of welltrained multi- and interdisciplinary investigators and research teams; (ii) create an incubator for innovative research tools and technologies; (iii) synergize multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary clinical and translational bioscience. This curriculum will provide a platform to catalyze this process in order to create this added value. The students will be enrolled in demanding and novel scientific research projects within the Medical University, including faculty of relevant clinical institutions. Using the existing expertise and infrastructure, the programme will be focused on basic research but also on possible practical applications in the clinical situation (translational component).
