Following positive evaluation by the Federal Science Council, the traditional Magdeburg research focus on "Neurosciences" has been developed to become a centre of neuroscience research, in which the bridge between the systemic and molecular aspects of neuroscience research will be crossed. Close cooperation exists with the local Leibniz Institute for "Neurobiology" (IfN).
The development of the research focus "Immunology, including molecular medicine related to inflammation" was advanced in 2001-2003 by a project funded by the BMBF (building an inter-university research centre "Immunology" at the universities of Magdeburg and Halle). Since 2004, under the university's research focus on "dynamic technical systems" close cooperation has existed with the Magdeburg based Max Planck Institute for "Dynamically Complex Technical Systems".
Both of the main areas of research at the medical faculty are supported among other things by the following research structures:
