ABSTRACT
Personalized medicine and targeted therapies are two buzz words which mark the direction of the next decades of medical development. The foundations of this type of medicine are strategies which try to approach the molecular machinery in the cells directly to cure disease phenotypes or even the disease itself. To overcome the multitude of problems on that way, a precise understanding of the cellular function is essential but not sufficient. Additional research areas play a role, like cell cell interactions, cell differentiation, the functionality of the complete organ and last but not least the transport of effectors to the target cells. These and many more fields of research need to play together at the end to achieve this ambitious goal of genome medicine. This course should help to become orientated, help to find subdisciplines of interest, and to create a stable basis for further activities. The presented topics span from wet lab methods to computational biology.
