Our mission is to contribute significant advancements to the understanding of the fundamentals of functional and dysfunctional human biology at the molecular, cellular and systems level that ultimately will be applicable to combat diseases and increase human health span.
In BSCS, research and education are intertwined. This way, we strive to advance the cycle of bench-to-bed-to-bench for human well-being:
Nearly all current medical treatments are based on discoveries, often done long before the related application, on detailed insights in how molecules, cells and systems function and how they are derailed in disease.
Academic education requires role models and modern teaching:
The progress of science is based on specialied expertise for discoveries, but requires intense collaborations amongst experts for driving such discoveries all the way to utiliation. BSCS strives for a great team spirit not only to nurture internal collaboration but also strongly supports collaborations with external partners in and outside the UMCG.
