Master of Science in Translational Medical Research

["Course outlineTranslational medical research is a two-way process. On one hand, it deals with the conversion of basic research findings into new approaches for the diagnosis and therapy of disease, either in the clinic or through commercial development. On the other hand, it handles the conversion of clinical observations into basic research questions that can be addressed through experimentation.The Master of Science in Translational Medical Research (MSc TMR) programme systematically provides students with a medical or bioscience background with the knowledge and skills necessary to participate in the frontier of translational medical research.AimsTranslational medical research aims to transfer knowledge, mechanisms, and techniques of basic molecular and cellular research into new approaches for the diagnosis and therapy of disease. It also seeks to translate clinical observations into experimental research. Accordingly, the TMR Master's programme aims to educate students in the interdisciplinary field of translational medical research by training them on how to bridge the interfaces between fundamental laboratory-based experimentation, clinical research and commercial exploitation."]
