Regenerative medicine is considered a key technology of the present and future medicine, with potential new therapies for cardiovascular, skin, neurological, and many other diseases. The majority of the cardiovascular regeneration research focused on ischemic heart diseases. Still, it should also encompass other cardiovascular disorders, such as oncologic treatment-induced cardiotoxicity, or congenital and metabolic heart diseases or brain-heart axis repair.

Cancer research is a multidisciplinary scientific field. Basic cancer research uses in vitro and in vivo models to identify tumour-specific regulatory mechanisms and targets for cancer therapy. It investigates the cellular mechanisms of carcinogens in order to understand the causes of cancer and analyses exogenous and endogenous factors that contribute to tumour development. The results are used to develop diagnostic procedures, new therapies and prevention strategies.

The objective of the PhD Program Medical Physics is to provide excellent training opportunities in the various fields of Medical Physics. This will be achieved by offering students the opportunity to work on cutting-edge research projects in research teams that are among the international leaders in their fields.

In the RNA Biology PhD track, RNA-based regulatory circuits are explored in silico, in vitro and in vivo with technologies ranging from bioinformatics to biochemistry to imaging. RNAS mediate gene expression but have also regulatory, structural and signaling functions. Consequently, aberrant RNA processing, structure or function affects organismal development and health.

The Vascular biology PhD program provides training in the basic mechanism of vascular function and coagulation, as well as the physiological and pathological aspects associated with it. Topics include endothelial cell, smooth muscle cell, and platelet biology, angiogenesis, vascular pathologies (incl. atherosclerosis, aneurysms), as well as arterial and venous thrombosis.

The part-time course in social, public and nonprofit management includes business knowledge, legal principles and a deep understanding of non-profit organizations. Graduates also develop social skills.

Social work promotes social change and social cohesion based on principles such as social justice and human rights. The Bachelor's degree program in Social Work trains experts who enable people to overcome challenges and improve their well-being by advising, accompanying and planning and organizing assistance processes.

The practice-oriented master's program offers specialized general management training for nonprofit organizations and public institutions. Through projects and elective modules, students acquire sound skills and develop a holistic understanding of management that prepares them for future leadership roles.

The CRF course is the hotspot for financial know-how and business skills. Here you will not only learn numbers, but also digital skills and team leadership. With tailor-made electives, it paves the way to a successful career.

Digital media and technologies are shaping the business world and our society. They are changing competition in digital business and require new, innovative business models.

Graduates of the Bio- and Environmental Engineering degree program are involved in various current topics. The course offers a unique combination of science and technology to address the challenges of our time and develop sustainable solutions.

This course provides an understanding of nutrition and the scientific and technical aspects of food production. Graduates are able to develop high-quality, healthy and sustainably produced foods.

Mechanical engineering is ubiquitous in our modern world. We travel in cars, trains, or airplanes.

Sustainability, function, safety, design and durability - the right choice of materials makes the difference! Whether it's ultra-modern aircraft and car parts, extremely durable sports equipment, elegant consumer goods or environmentally friendly food packaging - which materials are ideal? How do you manufacture such products and reliably test their quality? How do you design sustainable, resource-efficient production processes? In this practice-oriented course, you will delve deeply into these fascinating questions. You will put your knowledge of chemistry and physics into practice, develop innovative metals, composite materials and plastics and shape the future of sustainable production.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has generated a lot of hype in the media about its potential benefits for the economy in general and the world of work in particular. However, AI is not limited to chatbots and language models, but has far more diverse and complex applications.
