School VI - Medicine and Health Sciences

The School VI Medicine and Health Sciences is the youngest School of the Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg. It was founded in 2012 and consists of the Department of Human Medicine, the Department of Medical Physics and Acoustics, the Department of Neurosciences, the Department of Psychology and Health Services Research.

New website of the University Medicine Oldenburg (UMO)

The website “universitätsmedizin-oldenburg.de” provides an overview of UMO's structures and news from university medicine. It complements the websites of the faculty and the cooperating hospitals and gives external visitors in particular an impression of UMO's diversity and unique selling points.

To the UMO website

The model course of study in human medicine is the first time in Germany that medical training is taking place across borders. 120 study places are currently available annually on the Oldenburg side at the European Medical School Oldenburg-Groningen.

Characteristics of the school VI are the highly regarded cross-border model course in human medicine - the European Medical School Oldenburg-Groningen (EMS) - as well as the close integration of basic research, clinical research and health care research. It thus offers students and scientists an excellent environment in which to acquire and apply the knowledge and skills necessary for the medicine of the future.

To better understand brain stimulation

How can brain stimulation, for example through electric current or medication, help people with neurological diseases? This question is at the centre of a new research group in psychology funded by the German Research Foundation.

How can brain stimulation, for example through electric current or medication, help people with neurological diseases? This question is at the centre of a new research group in psychology funded by the German Research Foundation.

Brain stimulation can help people with neurological diseases to move, remember or speak better again. Researchers in the new Research Training Group "Neuromodulation of motor and cognitive function in brain health and disease" want to find out exactly what happens when the brain is stimulated electrically, magnetically or pharmacologically, for example. They will also investigate what changes in patients’ everyday life such treatment methods actually lead to.

The German Research Foundation (DFG) will fund the training group in the Department of Psychology at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences for a period of five years; the requested amount is 6.5 million euros. The funding will enable 13 doctoral students to conduct research in this area. They will be guided by eleven scientists from the University of Oldenburg and one scientist from the University of Cologne.

"It is important to us to use the programme and our excellent research infrastructure to support young scientists who will advance both research and modern patient care in the field of neurorehabilitation," says the university’s president Prof. Dr Ralph Bruder.

"The increasing life expectancy of people is leading to a steady rise in neurological diseases such as strokes or Parkinson's disease," explains Prof. Dr Christiane Thiel, Head of the Biological Psychology Lab. Although treatment options have improved in recent decades, there is a need for additional treatment methods to spare those affected health restrictions for as long as possible. Brain stimulation offers a promising approach here, says Thiel.

She will head the new research training group together with neuropsychologist Dr Cornelia Kranczioch. The researchers will focus on the question of how and why different methods of brain stimulation could be successful in neurological diseases. They will work with state-of-the-art equipment such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography.

Research Training Groups promote young scientists at universities. The DFG's goal is to qualify doctoral students, support their scientific independence and prepare them for the complex job market of "science".
