Schwerpunkte:The innovative Master’s program in Molecular Medicine is characterized by interdisciplinarity, practice orientation and internationality with the ambition to qualify future excellent scientists for medical research. A particular strength of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Tübingen is research in the excellent focus areas of neurosciences, immunology, oncology, and infection biology. Immunology: Exploring the specialist field of immunology will allow students to gain a sound knowledge of the complex pro-cesses involved in the regulation of cellular and immunological processes in both humans and animals. The immunological pro-cesses are thus examined in association with disease-induced malfunctions, for example in the case of immunity defects or in tumor immunology. The lectures in the series “Advanced Immu-nology” cover the detailed mechanisms of the immune system, including an examination of the recent discoveries made in cellular and molecular immunology. The main lecture compri-ses the evolution of immune systems, therapeutic antibodies, computational immunobiology, antigen processing, cellular communication, negative and positive regulatory mechanisms in immunity, interaction between immune systems, and pathogens and pathomechanisms. Infection Biology: Viral infections, the threat of pandemics, and the emergence of antibiotic resistance have made clear the enormity of the unmet medical needs in infectious diseases. In Tübingen special emphasis is currently being placed on issues such as development of new antibodies, malaria, and viral onco-genesis. The Departments of Medical Microbiology, Virology, and Tropical Medicine meet this need by harnessing the current explosion of new information about the basic biology of patho-gens and host responses in order to develop novel therapeutics to combat serious infections. The main lectures series in this area cover molecular mechanisms related to bacterial, viral and parasite pathogenesis and experimental strategies to explore them in the area of major topics in the field of infectious diseases. Oncology: Cancer is a frequently occurring complex disease with an increasing incidence and a high socio-economic impact. Both the lecture on Advanced Oncology and the other courses in this area are intended to provide further knowledge on the mo-lecular basis of tumor development and molecular approaches to pathology and diagnostics, as well as molecular strategies in cancer therapy. Based on the topics to be addressed, students will acquire a solid understanding of the state of the art in molecular and translational oncology with respect to molecular mechanisms of cancer development, molecular pathology and diagnostics, and molecular strategies in cancer therapies. Neurosciences: The scope of neuroscience has expanded to in-clude different approaches used to study the molecular, cellular, developmental, structural, functional, and computational aspects of the nervous system, as well as neurological disorders. The main lecture series in this area places considerable emphasis on the molecular and cellular pathomechanisms of the most common dementias and other neurodegenerative disorders, especially Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
