Molecular Medicine (major)
The study of molecular medicine or (molecular) biomedicine was offered for the first time in 1999 by the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg . The range of courses is presented by the German Rectors' Conference in the Hochschulkompass. The boundaries to other life sciences courses are naturally fluid, even if molecular medicine or (molecular) biomedicine places a clear focus on people.
The need for these new courses arose from the modern knowledge of medical research at the border between medical questions and the molecular biological background. The aim is to train students in the field of basic medical research - as opposed to studying medicine, which is geared towards being a doctor . This includes subjects such as biochemistry , physiology , pharmacology , immunology , genetics , micro- , developmental and neurobiology . The more specific, research-based training builds on a broad basis of basic scientific subjects ( physics , chemistry , biology ) in the curriculum . A special focus is often on imparting practical and methodological skills.
The job description of molecular medicine is dominated by work at a research institute, be it at the university, in non-university institutions or in the pharmaceutical industry .
