Welcome to the Center for Molecular Medicine
The focus of our research is finding the causes and better treatments for common, chronic, as well as undertreated diseases. We combine translational and basic science by providing a meeting place for university and hospital-based researchers.
Our research on diseases
Chronic, rare and undertreated diseases
At CMM basic science meets clinical research on diseases. We aim to understand disease biology better and facilitate the development of future improved therapies.

Protein in the nose provides information about COPD
Early diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) improves patient quality of life and treatment effectiveness. Researchers at CMM found that nasal lavage material can help assess COPD at an early stage, potentially leading to a simple diagnostic method. The study was published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
New light-controlled CRISPR tool enhances precision in genetic research
Researchers from CMM have developed BLU-VIPR, a method to control CRISPR gene-editing using light. Published in Nucleic Acids Research, this tool could greatly improve our understanding of gene functions in complex organisms.
