Our research profile
Priority research areas at UMG
The UMG has defined four priority research areas as part of its strategic profiling: Molecular Cell Biology, Neurosciences, Cardiovascular Medicine and Oncology. Based on excellent basic research at the site and – with particular expertise in the field of Molecular Cell Biology – Neurosciences, Cardiovascular Medicine and Oncology reflect the strong translational orientation of the research profile and the particularly frequent disease entities in the population (medical need). With this strategic focus, UMG also contributes to the further development of diagnostics and therapy, fulfills its regional care mandate and promotes the training of particularly qualified scientists and physicians.
