Interdisciplinary research
In Utrecht we drive innovations in human and veterinary health care, with careful consideration of our environment. Our research is interdisciplinary by nature and combines fundamental, clinical, translational and applied research from Utrecht University's Faculty of Science, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Faculty of Medicine (UMC Utrecht). It ranges from molecule to man, from organism to population and from bench to bedside. Our hubs stimulate productive and long lasting interdisciplinary collaborations with public and/or private stakeholders thereby creating shared value and, hence, societal and economic benefit.
The ULS deans, the Scientific Directors, the Programme Board and the Management Team together form the ULS team. The International Scientific & Societal Advisory Board offers independent expert advice to the ULS team.
