Master Programme "Molecular Biosciences"

Major "Infectious Diseases"

As of winter semester 2005 the faculty of Biosciences at Heidelberg University has replaced the diploma study programme 'Biology' by an internationally compatible Master study programme. As part of the latter enrolled students are given the opportunity to shape their particular interests and skills by focussing on particular topics in the course of a so-called Major.The Major ‘Infectious Diseases’ addresses students who wish to put their main focus on a particularly relevant topic of Biomedical Sciences. Students in our Major deepen their knowledge of the basics of molecular and cell biology and get to know specific aspects of the replication of infectious pathogens and their interaction with the respective host in the course of lectures, seminars and internships.

Medical Faculty

MD/PhD Programme

The Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University has reacted to the increasing integration of basic research and clinically applied research by establishing an MD/PhD programme that trains medical and dental students for challenging work in an interdisciplinary research environment. The MD/PhD programme enables particularly talented students of human medicine and dentistry at the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University to complete a doctorate in natural sciences. The additional biological and scientific training is carried out in cooperation with the Faculty of Biosciences of Heidelberg University and the Graduate School HBIGS. The Medical Faculty supports the MD/PhD programme with up to 6 scholarships per year.

Parasitology

Parasite Picture Gallery

Have a look at the different protozoa, helminths and arthropodes. In the clinical routine of our diagnostics section and also in tropical medicine, besides endemic parasites like Cryptosporidia, Enterobius vermicularis and other ectoparasites, especially the so-called "neglected tropical diseases" (NTDs) play an important role.

Medizinische Fakultät

Wahlfachtrack Interdisziplinäre Infektiologie

Infektionserkrankungen gehören auch heute noch zu den häufigsten Todesursachen weltweit. Doch nicht alle infektiologischen Schwerpunktthemen können im Pflichtcurriculum des Medizinstudiums umfangreich abgedeckt werden. Diese Lücke möchte der Track schließen. Neben interdisziplinären klinischen Aspekten (gemeinsame Veranstaltungen mit Kolleg*innen aus der Klinik, Fallvorstellungen) liegt der Fokus hierzu auch auf wissenschaftlichen Aspekten (z.B. neue Vakzinierungsstrategien, NGS, Forschungsseminare). Auch die Arzt-Patienten Kommunikation und die Rolle der Allgemeinmedizin in der Behandlung von Infektionserkrankungen wird im Kursangebot repräsentiert.
