Curriculum
The Lecture Series: Pitfalls and Solutions „Good Experimental Design“ has been organized regularly since 2017. Since the topics of the lectures are also relevant and interesting for new postdoctoral researchers and Clinician Scientists at the faculty, the lectures will be repeated at regular intervals in the future. For this purpose, a 3-year curriculum of the lecture series has been developed. When selecting the lectures included in the curriculum, special attention was paid to ensure that all phases of the research cycle are covered: identification of research topics, formulation of research hypotheses, design of a research project, conducting experiments/ data collection, analysis of results, interpretation of results and presentation of the research data (see Figure 1).
Based on these considerations, the lectures offered in the curriculum were divided into three categories: Lectures on general topics, which are repeated every three years (green), lectures on basic research methods, which are also offered every three years (dark blue), and open slots for lectures for current research methods in preclinical and clinical research (light blue).
Each year of the curriculum, up to six lectures are planned. The last start of the curriculum was in fall 2022.

Lecture Series „From Bench to Bedside and Back – Understanding Translation“
The goal of this Lecture Series is to promote a scientific culture in which the translational potential of research projects is recognized and an understanding of collaboration between different scientific disciplines exists. To this end, this lecture series provides a platform for open exchange between scientifically active physicians (Clinician Scientists) and basic research-oriented scientists from diverse disciplines (Medical Scientists). An additional aim is to impart basic knowledge about translation, such as:
- Definitions and explanations of important terms in the field of translation
- The translational process and important competencies in translation
- General framework conditions, regulations and quality criteria
- Overview of the research structures and infrastructures at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Freiburg
By translation („From Bench to Bedside“) we mean „an interdisciplinary process in which preventive, diagnostic or therapeutic procedures are developed for application in humans on the basis of findings from basic research“. In this context, the consideration of the clinical expertise of physicians at the bedside is just as essential in the research and development of diagnostics and therapeutics as the expertise of researchers in the laboratory (‚bench‘) and results in an iterative process: „From bench to bedside and back“. These complementary dynamics are important, as feedback between basic research and the clinic is a critical success criterion for translational medicine.
The Lecture Series is organized by the Office of the Dean for Research in collaboration with the Clinical Trials Unit, University Medical Centeris and is composed of six lectures. Each lecture offers expert input, discussion and case studies. Please find further information on the curriculum below.
| Target Group: Non-clinically-active scientists (Medical Scientists) and scientifically-active clinicians with an interest in research (Clinican Scientists and Advanced Clinician Scientists) |
| Time and Venue: Mondays, 12.00 – 13.00; Online via ZOOM |

Curriculum
The Lecture Series: “From Bench to Bedside and Back – Understanding Translation” is a newly-launched lecture series offered by the EQUIP (Education and Qualification for Postdocs) Program of the Faculty of Medicine in collaboration with the Clinical Trials Unit of the Medical Center – University of Freiburg and aims to promote translational research at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Freiburg. The lectures provide important basic knowledge about translation and are relevant and interesting for Medical Scientists and Clinician Scientists of the faculty. In the process of putting together the contents of the curriculum, special attention was paid to ensure that the two-way complementary dynamics (from bench to bedside and back) of translation is covered. As a result, a curriculum of the lecture series comprising six lectures has been developed (see Figure 1).
