In recent years, with the extensive evolution of research methods and the understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms, along with the failure of some therapeutic methods, the need arose to evaluate the progression of diseases and their treatment from a molecular perspective. With this new specialized perspective, known as molecular medicine, a connection between basic sciences and clinical sciences has been established. The goal of this field is to use cellular and molecular biology knowledge to understand the molecular basis of diseases and find possibilities for their prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Molecular medicine, benefiting from the rapid advancements in medical and basic sciences, has a broad scope of activity that distinguishes it from other fields. Specialists in this field, by combining basic sciences and clinical sciences, aim to enhance medical services using the results of basic science research. Therefore, the necessity of interdisciplinary activity, which is an essential need in today's knowledge, is one of the strengths of this field.

While this approach to molecular medicine has been introduced as an important perspective in medical sciences, the shortage of specialists in this field is clearly felt. Given the importance of this field in today's world and the need to train skilled professionals in the country, the molecular medicine group has been established in recent years. With the experience of its members, this group is striving to meet part of the country's needs in this area.

The goal of this program is to educate students with the ability to identify scientific questions with a clinical approach, as well as the ability to translate laboratory findings into disease treatment.
