| Lernziele |
The course offers an introduction to Translational medicine (TM). The students will acquire understanding of the basic elements of Translational Research and Medicine and its role in closing the gap between the laboratory bench and patient bedside. They will be able to answer the following questions: What is the purpose of TM? What does it mean to be a practitioner and an expert in TM? What are the tools of TM and how are they used? The students will also get an appreciation of these tools by using them in teams with others - who will have complementary skills and knowledge. The teams will apply the knowledge about TM and its methods and their own expertise to a research problem presented as a case. Each team will be defined in the beginning of the course and stay the same for the whole duration of the course. Each team will present their case work on different aspects of TM at three different stages (end of each block) of the project. |
