Molecular medicine: revolutionary approaches for rare diseases!
On December 19, 2024, an exciting event with two lectures on molecular medicine will take place in the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZIF), which is organized by the association of friends and sponsors of ZIF e.V. Sven Thoms and Laura-Sophie Landwehr will draw attention to the importance of interdisciplinary approaches that are between basic research and practical use of medicine. Thoms will explain how molecular medicine makes it possible to combine knowledge from different fields in order to develop a better understanding of the mechanisms of less often, often neglected diseases. These diseases are often not very attractive for the pharmaceutical industry, which complicates research on them, as bielefeld.jetz reports.
In her lecture,Landwehr will present examples that illustrate how molecular technologies, such as genome editing and personalized medicine, can revolutionize the health system. It will respond to the practical implementation of the research results and show how individual treatment approaches can be realized through these progress. According to the lectures, a discussion round will take place that enables the audience to ask questions and to intensify the exchange about the applications of molecular medicine.
