Research within the GSMS ranges from fundamental to patient-oriented (clinical) research and is organized in four Research Institutes:
1.
Research Institute GUIDE
(director: prof. dr. A.J. Moshage)
(
central theme:
Chronic Diseases and Drug Innovation)
The focus of this program is on the elucidation of (chronic) disease mechanisms, the identification of new targets for intervention and the development and testing of new drugs aimed at these targets. In addition, patient-oriented research is structured in such a way that this leads to new patho-physiological concepts.
2.
Research Institute BCN-BRAIN
(director: prof. dr. H.P.H. Kremer)
(
central theme: Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences
)
The focus of this program is on brain activity at molecular, cellular and behavioral level. Within the area of behavioral and cognitive neuroscience, physical and mental operations are analyzed from the molecular and cellular level up to the complex level of information processing.
3.
Research Institute SHARE
(director: prof. dr. R. Sanderman)
(
central theme:
Health Research and Epidemiology
)
The focus in this program is on the identification of factors related to health, notably healthy ageing. This is achieved by research on determinants and consequences of ageing, incident disease, quality of life, care and cure, as well as by training researchers in the area of health research.
4.
Research Institute W.J. Kolff
(director: prof. dr.
H.C. van der Mei)
(central theme: Biomaterials)
The focus of this program is on injury, repair, intervention and support, bioadhesion, biocompatibility and infection, implants for function restoration, tissue engineering and scaffold materials.
