About the University Medical Centre Utrecht
At UMC Utrecht, one of our major goals is to translate results from our laboratory research into new diagnostic tools and new therapies for disease. Scientists who pursue basic research questions closely collaborate with clinicians involved in patient care, allowing us to remain at the forefront of new developments and to provide better care for our patients.
Research at UMC Utrecht focuses on seven programs: neurosciences, cardiovascular sciences, immunology and infectious diseases, oncology, biomedical genetics, biomedical image sciences and clinical epidemiology. We closely collaborate with Utrecht University within the Academic Biomedical Centre, which offers a unique life-science environment that combines the expertise of various faculties (such as the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and the Faculty of Natural Sciences) and research institutes.
