Research

The Amsterdam Institute for Molecules, Medicines and Systems (AIMMS) strives to vertically integrate multiple scientific disciplines at the VU Campus into one institute, covering the different molecular, cellular and translational stages in the development of new drugs, therapeutics (e.g. antibodies and other biologics) and molecular diagnostics, thereby adding significant value to the current research. Apart from established discovery and development strategies, it will use systems biology and network approaches to obtain, integrate and analyse complex data from multiple experimental sources using interdisciplinary tools.

Three departments are involved:

• Faculty of Earth&Life Sciences: Department of Molecular Cell Biology
• Faculty of Sciences: Department of Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences
• Faculties of Sciences and Earth&Life Sciences: Centre for Integrative Bio-informatics VU
