Health and medicine

TUM helps to heal and stay healthy! Our research relates to the whole person: both healthy and sick.  We conduct research in the field of diseases as well as in the areas of prevention and nutrition.
 

Closely associated with the Klinikum rechts der Isar (MRI) - one of the world's leading hospitals - we strive to understand, alleviate and cure diseases. Whether it is cancer, cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, autoimmune diseases, neurological diseases or other conditions. We are conducting research on this at the highest level and in international collaborations.

It is very important to us that diseases do not develop in the first place, but are avoided through prevention - starting in childhood. This is why we also conduct intensive research in the areas of sport and nutrition.

It is all about individual health and performance:

• People with health problems who hope to alleviate their suffering through exercise and nutrition

• Children and young people should learn the joy of exercise and healthy eating at an early age in order to stay healthy for a long time

• Top athletes receive intensive support to help them realize their sporting potential

• People who want to increase and maintain their personal fitness through sport and nutrition
