UMCG Research Institutes

Our research is driven by the overall ambition to advance health and well-being by conducting cutting-edge research on health-determining factors, disease mechanisms and novel prevention, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies that contribute to societal and technical innovations.

Our multidisciplinary approach is unique, and benefits from a strong synergy between fundamental, translational, clinical, and public health scientists.

To enable such an innovative research strategy, we:

• aim to provide an inspiring research environment to all researchers;
• facilitate and support interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers, both within and outside the UMCG;
• encourage and support our research community towards valorisation and societal outreach;
• are committed to provide strong support and training for PhD students and postdocs; and
• conduct our research in accordance with the prevailing ethical standards as formulated in the research code of the University of Groningen and the UMCG.
