About MoMeD
Aim of MoMeD Graduate programme
The aim of MoMeD is to advance our understanding of human disease by fostering research and training at the interface between basic and clinical science.
Through a cross-institutional network of researchers, clinicians, and PhD students, MoMeD promotes collaboration across disciplines and research environments, creating opportunities for knowledge to move between laboratory discoveries and clinical challenges.
By strengthening the dialogue between bench and bedside, MoMeD seeks to support research that contributes to improved diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of disease.
Research in MoMeD
MoMeD brings together PhD students investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying human disease, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders and diabetes. Research spans basic, translational and clinical science, connecting discoveries in the laboratory with clinical questions to inform new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
Students use a broad range of methods and technologies, including structural biology and cryo-electron microscopy, mass spectrometry, single-cell proteomics and transcriptomics, and CRISPR screens. Combined with patient-derived organoids and animal models, these approaches enable studies from individual molecules to whole organisms.
Affiliated departments
PhD students and supervisors affiliated with MoMeD are based in a number of different environments (the list is not exhaustive):
The scientific sharing across disciplines is one of MoMeD’s strongest assets.
MoMeD helps you build a future beyond the PhD, whether your future is in academia or industry.
