Thematik

Molecular Medicine is a field of science that studies the mechanisms of pathogenesis and new possibilities for the diagnosis and therapy of human diseases at the level of molecules (nucleic acids and proteins). This course is designed to discuss the discoveries in molecular cell biology most important for clinical medicine: it will present their scientific background, their impact on medicine, the new perspectives opened by them. The course is closely connected to the compulsory subject Molecular Cell Biology and to the elective course Molecular Medicine.
