Department of Medical and Health Sciences (IMH)

We have a long tradition of interdisciplinary research and education across traditional subject and faculty boundaries. Our subject areas include preclinical research, applied clinical research, health sciences, community-oriented and technical research. It provides good conditions for translational projects, both from 'bench to bedside' and 'bedside to society ".
