BioMed – Life and Materials

Innovative research at the interface of medicine and the natural sciences

The core research area 'BioMed – Life Science and Materials' brings together research activities at Saarland University in the natural sciences and medicine. BioMed focuses on innovative, interdisciplinary research in the fields of medicine, pharmaceutical science, the life sciences and bioinformatics.

The Departments of Biosciences, Chemistry, Computer Science, Materials Science and Engineering, Pharmaceutical Science, Physics, Systems Engineering and the Clinical Medicine and Theoretical Medicine sections of the Faculty of Medicine all collaborate closely with the three cross-faculty centres for Human and Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics and Biophysics, as well as with other independent research institutions on campus.
