About Department
Molecular Medicine is a novel and interdisciplinary field of basic medical sciences that serves as a critical bridge between basic science and clinical practice. Our department focuses on studying the molecular, epigenetic, and cellular mechanisms of a wide range of diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular conditions, dermatological and rheumatological disorders, infectious diseases, and molecular epidemiology.
Trained in this field, our students are equipped to employ novel methods and techniques, taking significant strides in molecular diagnosis and developing therapeutic approaches for multifactorial diseases. Our curriculum integrates both basic and clinical sciences, utilizing bioinformatics, medical molecular genetics, molecular oncology, molecular immunology, biophysics, and nanotechnology. The program is strategically designed to provide the medical community with diagnostic and therapeutic strategies based on personalized medicine.
The department admitted its first cohort of students in 2008 and has since graduated 30 Ph.D. students, with 19 currently progressing through their studies and research. Our faculty comprises experts dedicated to pushing the boundaries of medical research and education.
