Our research

Our research focuses on six multidisciplinary programs: Circulatory Health, Brain, Infection & Immunity, Cancer, Child Health and Regenerative Medicine. Within these focal points, we bring healthcare and research together, translating fundamental insights into practical applications as quickly as possible. In 2025 confirmed the international SEP committee that our research is of a very high quality, with strong innovative capacity and significant societal impact.  

Alongside research within our focus points, we also prioritize studying how clinical trials can be organized faster and smarter, for example through our REMAP-CAP research. This ensures that patients gain quicker access to new treatments. In this way, we work as one UMC Utrecht on research that is scientifically excellent and directly contributes to better, accessible healthcare.
