Research at the interface between the laboratory and the healthcare system
The ITM stands for research at the interface between basic and clinical research. We use basic knowledge and new technologies to develop innovative and safe medicines to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
Our goal is biomedical research and the promotion of young scientists.
Our tasks:
Biomedical research is at the heart of research at the Institute for Translational Medicine. The Institute focuses on in-depth topics in neurology and immunology. The research groups based here cover a wide range of topics, from synaptopathies, neuroregeneration, cellular adaptation and bioenergetics, neuroinflammation, allergies and asthma. In addition to scientific questions, molecular and cell biology, molecular biology, imaging and biochemical methods are applied and cellular and organotypic brain slice models are developed.
