As a joint venture of the University of Basel and the University Hospitals Basel, the Department of Biomedicine (DBM) brings together basic and clinical scientists to advance our understanding of health and disease. The DBM promotes scientific excellence in translational research and trains the next generation of biomedical scientists. The vibrant interdisciplinary culture and cutting-edge technical infrastructures nurture a spirit of innovation, towards scientific discovery and the development of pioneering therapies in areas of unmet need. 

The Department of Biomedicine is home to 70 research groups and encompasses four research areas: Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Neurosciences, Cancer Biology, and Tissue Development and Regeneration. Despite our presence in six different locations, the DBM's research groups, core facilities and staff will soon be brought together under one roof in a new building. This will allow DBM scientists to interact more closely within the department and with scientists from neighboring institutions.
