Welcome to the Medical Faculty of the University of Bonn
We are 1 of 7 faculties of the University of Bonn and affiliated to the transdisciplinary research area Life and Health. We maintain extensive partnerships with institutions of the Helmholtz Association, the Max Planck Society, and national and international research associations in the life sciences.
We are committed to outstanding, nationally and internationally visible translational research from basic sciences to patient care, as well as to teaching and training students closely linked to science to become competent and empathetic physicians.
Both tasks are fulfilled in close cooperation with the University Hospital and with respect for our employees.

When Physics Meets Medicine: First Medicine-Physics Symposium in Bonn
For the first time, scientists from the Institute of Physics at the University of Bonn, as well as from the Faculty of Medicine and the University Hospital Bonn, gathered for the Medicine-Physics Symposium. In the IMPULSE building, they presented ongoing projects and explored where the expertise of both disciplines could complement each other effectively.
Researchers Transform Old Blood Cells into Young Brain Cells
Researchers from the University Hospital of Bonn and the University of Bonn have succeeded in dramatically rejuvenating human cells in a test tube. To do so, they directly reprogrammed red blood cell precursors into stem cells from which neurons can be derived. During this process, the molecular clocks that indicate a cell’s age were reset. For example, blood cells from an 80-year-old were transformed into stem cells with a molecular age of less than 20 years. Since this rejuvenation process occurred very slowly, it is well-suited for a more detailed investigation of the underlying mechanisms. The results have been published in the journal Aging Cell.
Aspirin Rarely Used for Colorectal Cancer Prevention
According to international studies, taking Acetylsalicylic acid daily can protect people with Lynch syndrome from developing colorectal cancer – even at low doses. Researchers from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), the University of Bonn, and the Center for Integrated Oncology (CIO) Bonn, in collaboration with the self-help organization SemiColon, have now found that these scientific findings have so far been insufficiently incorporated into clinical practice. The results of the LYNX study have now been published as a letter in the journal *The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology*.
New AI Agents in Medicine: Harnessing Artificial Intelligence to Improve Brain Tumor Diagnostics and Treatment
How can artificial intelligence help diagnose and treat patients with brain tumors? This is the question that researchers are tackling in a Europe-wide collaborative project involving the University of Bonn and the Neuroradiology Clinic at the University Hospital Bonn. The European Innovation Council (EIC) is funding the “EUcanAI” project to the tune of some €3.9 million over the next four years.
