The Erasmus Mundus programme International Master in Innovative Medicine (IMIM) is a two-year MSc curriculum of excellence that provides training in translational biomedical research. Its overall aim is to educate the next generation of outstanding translational scientists, entrepreneurs, and innovators, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to work effectively in different disciplines, sectors, and countries.Jointly organizedIMIM is jointly organised by four universities: the University of Groningen (the Netherlands), Heidelberg University (Germany), the University of Tartu (Estonia) and Uppsala University (Sweden). IMIM students will benefit from extensive resources and experience in biomedical sciences offered by these institutions, as well as their networks in both academic and private sectors. A Double DegreeIMIM is a double-degree programme, meaning that students who completed the required mobility programmes at the different European partner universities will receive degree certificates from both institutions.InterdisciplinarityAlongside their courses and research projects, IMIM students will participate in Bench to Bedside and Beyond (BBB) projects throughout the four semesters, focusing on translational research and bringing science to society. This includes a multidisciplinary group project which is designed to foster students’ business and entrepreneurial

Are you interested in finding new and innovative drugs and therapies and do you wish to improve the use of existing drugs?
The disciplines covered in this track circle around the theme: 'molecules for patients'. You are encouraged to bridge the gap between the fundamental natural sciences (such as chemistry and physics) and the medical/clinical sciences in the field of medicinal products and technologies.
This specialization contributes to the entire field of the pharmaceutical and biomedical sciences, from basic areas like drug discovery, chemical analysis and synthesis to (clinical) pharmaceutical practice and patient-oriented research. Knowledge from different research disciplines is combined in the design and evaluation of optimal drugs, products and therapies that are being made available to society.
Research in this specialization is of high societal impact with several drugs or related products developed in-house on the market or in clinical trials, several spin-offs and companies, a strong portfolio of patents and research that contributes directly to healthcare policymaking.
For information and guidance on Drug Innovation research, please contact the Drug Innovation specialization coordinator Prof. dr. Hélder Almeida Santos at h.a.santos@umcg.nl.

What are the detrimental and beneficial roles of microorganisms in human health and disease? How can we exploit this knowledge in the prevention and fight against infectious diseases?
What are the mechanisms that underlay or contribute to immune-mediated diseases? How can we exploit the immune system to treat (immune-mediated)diseases?
In this specialization, you can unravel the mechanisms underlying immune-mediated chronic diseases by translation of basic immunological concepts into clinical practice (and vice versa). You become involved in research contributing to personalized and precision medicine for infectious and immune-mediated diseases. You will be exposed to a wide variety of research topics ranging from the roles of microbes in the etiology of major autoimmune disorders, the genetics of celiac disease to targeting immune pathways for treatment .
For information and guidance on infection and immunity research, please contact the infection and immunity specialization coordinators prof. dr. Jan Maarten van Dijl at j.m.van.dijl01@umcg.nl or prof. dr. Peter Heeringa at p.heeringa@umcg.nl.

Is every calorie the same? Does healthy obesity exist? Via which pathways does an unbalanced diet lead to diseases? What is the best nutrition during health and illness?
The prevalence of metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, increases with age and is often associated with a sedentary lifestyle and excessive calorie intake. These diseases contribute significantly to liver, digestive, cardiovascular, and certain types of cancer (gut and liver). Given the global obesity epidemic, these diseases are responsible for most of the morbidity and mortality worldwide. In contrast, rare genetic metabolic disorders - of course! - do not have such a huge health impact, but they provide crucial insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic processes and aid in the development of new treatment strategies.
In this specialization you will focus on both basic and (pre)clinical translational research related to metabolic diseases. You will develop a strong understanding of the molecular basis of these diseases and receive training on how research, particularly in the basic sciences, can contribute to the development of evidence-based strategies for prevention, treatment, and management of metabolic diseases.

How do neurodevelopmental disorders arise and are they reversible? How is organismal or central nervous system ageing involved in neurodegenerative disorders?
In this specialization, you will be exposed to a range of topics in the field of neurobiology, ranging from fundamental neurobiology, basic research, to more (pre)clinical translational research. We aim to unravel the (epi)genetic basis of central nervous system (CNS) disease. The underlying cell biological defects in the context of various conditions and disorders will be addressed in in vitro models, animals and humans.
For detailed information on neuroscience-associated research, please go to the Department of Biomedical Sciences of Cells and Systems (in particular the sections Molecular Neuroscience and Molecular Cell Biology): https://bscs.umcg.nl/en/
For information and guidance on Neuroscience research, please contact the Neuroscience specialization coordinators dr. Bart Eggen at b.j.l.eggen@umcg.nl or dr. Susanne Kooistra at s.m.kooistra@umcg.nl.

How do alterations in the genome, epigenome and/or metabolome drive cellular transformation? How is cellular and/or organismal ageing involved in cancer development?
In this specialization, you will focus on a range of aspects in the field of cancer biology, spanning the entire scope from rather fundamental basic research to (pre)clinical translational research and ultimately clinical trials. We aim to unravel the molecular mechanisms that determine malignant transformation of solid and hematological tumors and to translate these fundamental insights into improved early detection and treatment of cancer.

A central role for Systems Medicine methods in all biological and medical fields?
Computational methods are as diverse as the questions and problems which they tackle. In this specialization, the students gain an overview of a broad spectrum of computational methods and strategies, including top-down approaches to analyze and model genome scale data and bottom up approaches to study the detailed dynamics of molecular networks. In doing so we will cover multi-scale data across the genome, transcriptome, proteome, microbiome and metabolome. The needs and constraints for acquisition of quantitative data at all scales will be covered, as much as the differences in computational approaches used to analyze different data types.
For detailed information on bioinformatic and systems research and guidance on where to conduct your computational research of choice, contact the Medical Systems Biology and Bioinformatics specialization coordinator Prof. dr. Sebo Withoff (s.withoff@umcg.nl).
