Department of Biomedicine

 

The department of Biomedicine conducts research in biomedical fields and educates students at all levels. The main research fields are associated with human biology and diseases and range from the inflammatory and allergic diseases, reproductive biology and medicine, cancer and coronary heart disease. In our studies we use molecular biology, genomics, epigenomics, and other omics based technologies, experimental animal models, and nanotechnologies. The department is responsible for the teaching of human biology and human genetics to students at the Medical Faculty. In addition, we teach in MSc program in biomedicine and doctoral students.

Call for abstracts: scientific conference celebrating the anniversary of the Faculty of Medicine

 Tartu Ülikooli bio- ja siirdemeditsiini instituudi inimese geneetika õppetooli uuring koostöös Tartu Ülikooli Kliinikumi meestekliinikuga näitas, et üllatavalt suurel osal viljatutest meestest on lapsena diagnoositud munandi laskumishäire. Õigeaegne sekkumine aitab tulevikus lahendada viljatusprobleeme ja ennetada haruldaste kasvajate riski.
