						Are you curious, creative and determined to solve biomedical challenges? Are you fascinated about the fundamentals of biomedicine and dream to be a scientist, work in a clinic or be an entrepreneur? This programme focuses on state of the art methodology and the skills that enable researchers to unravel the molecular mechanisms in health and disease. Your choice of research project (year 2) and laboratory reflects your choice of the six BMS specialisations:
Genetics and Genomics
Imaging from Molecule to Man
Inflammation and Pathophysiology
Neuromodulation
Nutrition, Physical Activity and Metabolism

afstudeerrichting Genetics and Genomics

Genetics enable us: * to understand how diseases are inherited, what screening and testing options or personal treatments are available; * to discover why some people get sick, while others do not.

afstudeerrichting Imaging from Molecule to Man

Functional information in health & disease; non-invasive investigation of animal/human models at multiple time points; revealing internal hidden structure; diagnosing & monitoring the disease.

afstudeerrichting Inflammation and Pathophysiology

This specialisation aims to develop a thorough, clinically relevant understanding of different mechanisms of development of disease.

Our aging society is facing many threats, including oncologic, neurologic and cardiovascular problems. Frequently, these problems are of inflammatory nature. This specialisation aims to develop a thorough, clinically relevant understanding of different mechanisms of development of disease.

afstudeerrichting Neuromodulation

Building on decades of fundamental and clinical research, neuromodulation has recently emerged as a promising field that has the potential to change the neuroscience landscape.

Building on decades of fundamental and clinical research, neuromodulation has recently emerged as a promising field that has the potential to change the neuroscience landscape. Equipped with detailed knowledge of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, a wide spectrum of invasive and non-invasive techniques has been developed that allows manipulation of the central nervous system and opens the door for novel clinical applications in various diseases.

afstudeerrichting Nutrition, Physical Activity and Metabolism

Providing the basis for the ultimate design and optimisation of preventive and therapeutic nutritional and life-style interventions that improve metabolic health and alleviate the diseased state.

Understanding the physiology and mechanisms underlying these derailments to provide the basis for the ultimate design and optimisation of preventive and therapeutic nutritional and life-style interventions that improve metabolic health and alleviate the diseased state.

afstudeerrichting Regenerative Medicine

While in the past implants were used to passively take over the function of a poorly functioning tissue, nowadays the focus is on developing methods that temporary 'trigger' the body to repair itself.

An increasingly ageing population in the industrialised world is accompanied by a number of new challenges. The interventions that are used to successfully restore the function of damaged organs or tissues have changed in the past decades. While in the past implants were used to passively take over the function of a poorly functioning tissue, nowadays the focus is on developing methods that temporary 'trigger' the body to repair or regenerate itself.

Jaycey Kelly

I want to become meaningful in immunology and discover the mechanisms

Before I came to Maastricht I was a bit shy, not eager to express my opinions. The PBL teaching method has encouraged me to improve myself. Now, I love the discussions in the tutorials and the feedback you get from your fellow students and tutors. I've always been passionate about biomedical science, in particular immunology which is about finding the mechanisms behind certain diseases. When I graduate, I want to apply for a PhD position in immunology.
