Welcome to the Institute of Molecular Vascular Medicine

The Institute of Molecular Vascular Medicine is located on TUM’s Biederstein Campus along the scenic English Garden in the Schwabing district of Munich (Münchner Freiheit, U3/U6 subway lines). Our research focuses on unraveling the potential of non-coding RNAs in a translational cardiovascular context. 

We are members of the DZHK partner site Munich (Munich Heart Alliance), the DFG-sponsored Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1123 “Atherosclerosis - Mechanisms and networks of novel therapeutic targets,” the TRR 267 on “Non-coding RNAs in the cardiovascular system,” the lighthouse project of the Freestate of Bavaria “DigiMed Bayern,” as well as the CNATM Clusters4Future on RNA-based therapies supported by the German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF).
