Research aimed at changing the future of health

Our joint efforts change the lives of our patients and citizens. The future of health depends on the next generation of health professionals. That is why their education is continuously invested in.

Mechanisms of disease

We aim to better understand the mechanisms underlying ageing and disease processes:
  • ​​​​​​​ to prevent the onset of disease;
  • and for those who fall ill to push the borders of diagnostic tools and innovative treatments.
