Programma di Laurea Magistrale Internazionale in Neuroscienze Mediche

Translating findings at the bench into treatment at the bedside! Medical Neurosciences focus on translational research. The main objective is to bridge the gap between successes at the bench and treatment at the bedside. We integrate basic laboratory research and the clinic in terms of faculty, students, course content and infrastructure. The program covers the breadth of neuroscience from molecular neurobiology to cognition and neurovascular diseases. We offer an interdisciplinary, international graduate program, which leads to the degrees of MSc, PhD or MD/PhD in Medical Neurosciences. The program addresses both students of medicine and of life sciences (biology, biophysics, chemistry, psychology etc.).

The mission of the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) is the medical translation: transferring biomedical research findings into novel approaches to personalized prediction, prevention, diagnostics and therapy and, conversely, using clinical observations to develop new research ideas. The aim is to deliver relevant medical benefits to patients and the population at large. The BIH is also committed to establishing a comprehensive translational ecosystem as a translational research area at Charité – one that places emphasis on a system-wide understanding of health and disease and that promotes change in the biomedical research culture. The BIH has funded 90 per cent by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and 10 per cent by the State of Berlin. The two founding institutions, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association (MDC), were independent member entities within the BIH until 2020. As of 2021, the BIH has been integrated into Charité as the so-called third pillar; the MDC is privileged partner of the BIH.
