Centre for Translational Medicine – where science serves healthcare
The main goal of the Centre for Translational Medicine is to build a bridge between scientific research and clinical practice, thereby speeding up the application of research findings in patient care. This mission is supported by the key activities below.
The Centre operates under the supervision of the University Rector, with the involvement of the Vice-Rector for Science and Innovation. Professional work is led by the Director in close cooperation with domestic and international partners.
Education – training the next generation of scientists for real-world impact
CTM education programmes explicitly support medical-research and scientific career paths, especially for those who wish to excel in both the clinic and research.

- Continuing education: winter and summer schools plus supervisor masterclasses ensure continuous professional development. More ›
Research support – data-driven innovation in healthcare
The Centre provides comprehensive, tailor-made professional support for all university-related scientific projects:
- ECDMS system at Semmelweis University – a four-step validated clinical database that offers structured healthcare data for research purposes.
- Biostatistical, IT and AI support – expert assistance for multicentre studies, complex data analyses and AI-based approaches.
The Centre for Translational Medicine aims to build bridges between researcher and physician, lab and bedside, idea and implementation. Our programmes are open to anyone who wishes to actively contribute to a more effective, knowledge-based healthcare system.
