PhD Molecular Medicine

. A branch of medicine that develops ways to diagnose and treat disease by understanding the way genes, proteins, and other cellular molecules work. Molecular medicine is a broad field, where physical, chemical, biological, bioinformatics and medical techniques are used to describe molecular structures and mechanisms, identify fundamental molecular and genetic errors of disease, and to develop molecular interventions to correct them.A molecular medicine develops ways to diagnose and treat disease by understanding the way genes, proteins, and other cellular molecules work. Molecular medicine is based on research that shows how certain genes, molecules, and cellular functions may become abnormal in diseases such as cancer. The PhD program in Molecular Medicine focuses on training next generation scientists to uncover the molecular mechanisms that underlie a broad spectrum of human diseases including cardiac, liver, kidney, lung, skin, skeletal muscle, bone, intestinal, vascular, brain and eye disease. A science that seeks to comprehend disease causes and mechanisms at the molecular level, and to apply this basic research to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders.
