Interdisciplinary research exploring the human body as an integrated whole
At ISM, we focus on understanding the human body as a complex, interconnected system. By examining biochemical, physiological, psychological, and environmental interactions, we gain insights into how different parts – from cells to tissues to entire organisms –work together to form the bigger picture of health and disease.
Our mission is to advance systems medicine through cutting-edge research, implementation, and consulting. We specialize in high-throughput data analysis, bioinformatics, and the application of statistical research methods in medicine, striving to translate our findings into real-world clinical solutions.”
Our Goals and Tasks
- Integration of Research into Education: We develop research modules that focus on systems-level studies in areas such as big data, epidemiology, biostatistics, clinical research, and meta-analyses.
- Core Research Areas: Our key research focuses include systems oncology, chronomedicine, systems biology, epidemiology, public and mental health, systems neuroscience, and clinical neuroscience.
- Epidemiology and Systems Medicine: We adopt a translational approach, bridging molecular research with clinical and population-based studies to enhance the understanding of health and disease.
- Medical Informatics and Digitalization: We utilize computational biology and bioinformatics to analyze high-throughput data, develop databases, and implement digital tools for medical research.
- Specialized Internal Facilities: We have established dedicated services for RNA quantification, chronobiology, and systems oncology, facilitating tumor cell characterization and drug testing.
- Bioinformatics Expertise: Our institute conducts advanced computational analysis to interpret complex biological data.
- Global Collaboration: We actively participate in national and international consortia, professional societies, and research institutions, representing the MSH and the field of systems medicine on a global scale.
