/en/research/imau/research/atmospheric-physics-and-chemistry The UMC Utrecht Brain Center provides state-of-the-art care for neurological and psychiatric diseases and develops (personalized) treatments by performing research in the full translational range, from fundamental research to values-driven healthcare. We also educate, stimulate, and train the next generation of researchers and caregivers.
The Strategic Program Cancer is UMC Utrecht’s world-leading platform for cancer research and innovation. We focus on improving the outcome of ​(ex-)cancer patients, and those at risk of getting cancer.
- Cellular Protein Chemistry
The major research goals of this research group are to characterise the mechanisms of chaperone-substrate interactions, the protein folding process of mammalian cells and proteins in peroxisomes.
/en/research/cellular-protein-chemistry The Child Health Program is an integrated framework for child-centered interdisciplinary research, aligning patients, clinicians, researchers and resources in order to fill gaps to improve the lives of children with complex chronic diseases, during childhood and thereafter.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide for both men and women. To address this challenge, the strategic program Circulatory Health creates scientific and societal impact by bringing together cardiovascular researchers, clinicians, and educators.
- Coastal and Shelf Sea Dynamics
Research in this theme focuses on the interactions between the water motion, sediment transport and bottom changes in coastal seas and estuaries.
/en/research/imau/research/coastal-and-shelf-sea-dynamics - Condensed Matter & Interfaces
This research group centres on the chemistry and physics of solids and interfaces.
/en/research/condensed-matter-interfaces - Condensed-Matter Theory, Statistical and Computational Physics
The general goal of this research theme is to obtain a fundamental understanding of macroscopic phenomena on the basis of microscopic many-body theories.
/en/research/institute-for-theoretical-physics/research/condensed-matter-theory-statistical-and-computational-physics - Debye Institute for Nanomaterials Science
At the Debye Institute for Nanomaterial(s) Science, chemistry and physics meet to study the properties of materials at the nanoscale, with a specific focus on three themes: catalysis, colloid science and nanophotonics.
/en/research/debye-institute-for-nanomaterials-science - Fertility and Reproduction
The overall aim of the Biology of Reproductive Cells (BRC) program is to provide answers to problems affecting or arising from reproduction in domestic animal species and man (one health, one medicine) by improving understanding of the mechanisms involved in gamete development, fertilization and embryogenesis, and by improving gamete/embryo storage.Â
/en/organisation/faculty-of-veterinary-medicine/research/genetics-and-reproduction/fertility-and-reproduction - History and Philosophy of Science
This research group tries to understand the nature and the history of the scientific enterprise and the knowledge it produces, which is a crucial part of understanding the world we live in.
/en/research/freudenthal-institute/about-us/history/history-and-philosophy-of-science - Ice and Climate
This research group investigates the exchange processes between atmosphere and ice/snow surfaces and the dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets.
/en/research/imau/research/ice-and-climate The Strategic Program Infection & Immunity is a leading platform in the field of inflammatory and infectious diseases and immune-mediated therapy. We continuously focus on developing and improving the treatment of patients with difficult-to-manage infections, immune diseases or cancer.
In Utrecht, we try to unravel the mechanisms behind infection and immunity.
- Institute for Gravitational and Subatomic Physics (GRASP)
Researchers at this institute try to gain understanding of the basic constituents of matter, their interactions and the fundamental properties of space and time. They conduct experimental research in which they perform measurements of heavy-ion collisions and gravitational waves.
/en/research/institute-for-gravitational-and-subatomic-physics - Institute for Theoretical Physics
Researchers at this institute use concepts and methods encoded in mathematical language to explain physical reality.
/en/research/institute-for-theoretical-physics The Julius Center is a knowledge center for Health Sciences and Primary Care. Together with our colleagues of UMC Utrecht, we work hard to improve patient care. We conduct multidisciplinary scientific research into new diagnosis and treatment methods.
- Oceans & Climate
The ultimate goal of this research group is to understand and correctly simulate the ocean component of the climate system.
/en/research/imau/research/oceans-and-climate - Quantum Gravity, Strings and Elementary Particles
The main research areas of this research group are quantum gravity, quantum field theory, string theory, and cosmology.
/en/research/institute-for-theoretical-physics/research/string-theory-cosmology-and-elementary-particles Utrecht is home to Regenerative Medicine Utrecht (RMU), a world-renowned collaboration of excellent knowledge institutes and start-ups. At RMU, we are continuously working on and developing cutting edge technologies and principles that can cure patients.
This growing field converges biomedical research, innovative technology and patient care.
The research groups within the Faculty of Medicine are to be found on the website of UMC Utrecht.
- Risk Assessment
The overall aim of the Risk Assessment of Toxic and Immuno-modulatory Agents (RATIA) program is to improve the scientific basis for assessment of risk to humans, animals, and ecosystems from exposure to potentially harmful agents in the environment, in occupational settings, through vaccination, and through the food chain.
/en/organisation/faculty-of-veterinary-medicine/veterinary-research/infection-immunity-and-pathology/risk-assessment-sciences - Soft Condensed Matter Biophysics
