Research and Education
Basic research dominates, but some areas are right on the line between basic research and medical/technical application. There is also a comprehensive postgraduate education that forms an integral part of the institutions.
Undergraduate education is also conducted at a variety of educational programmes within the pharmaceutical and medical, social sciences and technical-science faculties at Uppsala University.
Research
The Biomedical Centre is a centre for life sciences in its widest sense. Research encompasses the smallest molecule up to complete organism. This includes for example, how molecular structures can explain biological processes, the life cycle of microorganisms and their interaction with their hosts and how intracellular processes and intercellular communications control normal tissue development, cancer and degenerative diseases
In addition, extensive research is conducted regarding the uptake and action mechanisms of the drugs. Basic research dominates, but some areas are right on the border between basic research and medical / technical application.
Education
At BMC, undergraduate education is conducted at a variety of educational programs within the faculties of medicine, medicine, social sciences and technical and natural sciences at Uppsala University. Every year, courses are arranged for several thousand students, corresponding to about 4,000 full-time students.
