The Molecular & Translational Medicine Profile Area stands for excellent research in the fields of cardiology, oncology, neuroscience and drug research. The goal of the Profile Area's council is to advise and support Goethe University with respect to the Profile Area's strategic design to further strengthen it in the coming years, especially with regard to the excellence strategy. The main focus lies on connecting scientists in the Profile Area, initiating research alliances, advising on the content-related orientation and strategically relevant recruitment of excellent researchers, as well as promoting young researchers.
The Profile Area 'Molecular and Translational Medicine' brings together basic researchers with physicians and computer scientists to develop new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. We focus on the topics of cardiac cycle, tumor, and neuroscience, which are backed by a strong drug research network. We intend to further strengthen the Profile Area through the development of new cross-sectional topics and the targeted support and integration of excellent junior scientists.

The profile area "Molecular & Translational Medicine" is characterized by a close interlinking of basic research and clinical application from the perspective of translational research and reverse translation. The profile area is supported by outstanding individual researchers, including Leibniz Prize winners and several ERC grantees (see "Distinguished Individual Researchers" below) and several research networks (see "Coordinated Research Projects" below). The Cluster of Excellence "Cardio-Pulmonary Institute" (CPI) is currently preparing an application for a continuation of funding as part of the Excellence Strategy. The profile area as a whole currently focuses on the following key research areas:
