DQBM's roundup of 2020
We are UZH's Department of Quantitative Biomedicine (DQBM)
Founded in 2019, the DQBM's mission is to foster research and education at the interface of biomedical research, bio-technology, and computational biology, to develop the foundations of next-generation precision medicine. Ultimately, our goal is to advance precision medicine for the benefit of patients.
We aim to strengthen quantitative biomedicine in Zurich
To achieve this, we take on the challenge of bridging the gap between basic research, data science and translational / clinical research groups. Specifically, we aim to strengthen quantitative biomedicine in Zurich by combining basic research and the development of novel quantitative methods for the molecular analysis of patient samples, with translational research and the development of medical informatics (Figure 1).

Outlook
We are thrilled about, and grateful for, all our members' achievements, opportunities and successes in this particularly challenging year. Moreover, we are looking forward to an exciting year ahead: In Autumn 2021, the wet labs will move into the new building on Campus Irchel (UZI5) and the DQBM will organise its first joint Block Course within the biomedicine curriculum. Furthermore, we will proclaim our founding with a celebratory DQBM Founding Symposium on 29.11.2021 and, of course, we will be doing more excellent science. Please stay tuned!
