Biomedicine is a broad field of study that concerns itself with the theoretical aspects of medicine and which applies biological and natural science concepts to practice. It has a number of related disciplines such as biochemistry, zoology, anatomy, genetics, physiology, pathology, botany, chemistry and biology. Career opportunities include areas that interact with medicine and health, such as engineering-based fields that solve biological and medical problems. Biomedical scientists work out a range of analytical and practical laboratory tests in order to contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Interested in updating your knowledge in Bioinformatics & Systems Biology fields? This summer school aims at informing the students and young scientists about the latest trends in the field. Our event is organized in partnership with SYSGENET, a COST Action (BM0901).
The ZIBI Summer School combines a lecture course with an international symposium on "Global Challenges on Chronic Tropical Infections" and a practical laboratory course on current techniques used in infection biology and immunology.
During this two-week residential summer school students will be introduced to the three approaches used in risk assessment: exposure assessment, toxicology (the science of poisons) and epidemiology (the science of public health).
International Workshop on Brain dynamics aims at highlighting the state of the art topics in the study of functional and behavioral dynamics as well as complexities of the brain by bringing together experts from a variety of interdisciplinary fields involving neuroscience, neurotechnology, engineering, medicine, computer science, mathematics and physics. The workshop targets at senior and junior researchers, scientists, engineers, clinicians, mathematicians, physicists, biologists and students, to inform them about the recent advances in brain dynamics research.
This course illustrates the intricate balance between infection and immunity in the human host.
In recent years mathematical modelling has become a valuable tool in the analysis of infectious disease dynamics and to support the development of control strategies.
This course focuses on the molecular mechanisms that turn a normal cell into a cancer cell. We will explore the regulation of cell cycle progression, the control of transcription regulation and the signalling networks that enable cells to execute vital processes such as growth, division and migration, and how malfunctioning of these processes may lead to tumour formation and metastasis.
This 10 day international school aims at training young academical/industrial researchers and students at research level in the interdisciplinary fields of principles and advances of x-ray scattering/diffraction, protein and molecular crystallography, x-ray absorption and florescense spectroscopy, x-ray imaging and tomography, nuclear resonance scattering, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultra fast applications in the nano and fempto regimes.
This course provides an introduction to microorganisms and their role in health and disease.
The objective of this 2-week intensive course in laboratory animal science is to present basic facts and principles that are essential for the humane use and care of animals and for the quality of research.
This course focuses on the translation of basic research knowledge and developments into clinical practice in the UMC Utrecht Cancer Center.
