TransCard Research School
Mission Statement
The TransCard program trains excellent young researchers in translational medicine with the goal to elucidate genetic and molecular mechanisms that underlie cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and to transfer these findings from bench to bedside.
CMD Program
The program on Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases (CMD) is currently the smallest of six existing research programs of the Helmholtz Society (HGF) dedicated to biomedical research. Three HGF research institutes collaborate in the CMD program: the Max-Delbrück-Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) in Berlin, the German Cancer Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg, and the Center for Biomaterial Development (CBM) of GKSS, Campus Teltow. In addition, TransCard cooperates with the Freie Universität Berlin (FU Berlin) and the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (HU Berlin) as well as with the Hubrecht Laboratory in Utrecht, Netherlands.
MDC
The MDC is an interdisciplinary institute dedicated to research into three of the most devastating types of disease that affect our society: cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, and cancer. Research on cardiovascular diseases is a major focus at the MDC with particular emphasis on disorders of the heart and kidney. The MDC coordinates the CMD program.
