Precision Medicine
Read the science behind thisDiagnostic and therapeutic strategies tailored to a patient's molecular and clinical phenotype rather than one-size-fits-all treatment.
Precision medicine is the degree Jessica is actually enrolled in. She has been an M.Sc. Precision Medicine Diagnostics student at Hochschule Furtwangen University, Schwenningen Campus, since October 2023. The programme is the reason the rest of this network holds together. It brought a microbiologist trained in Enugu into diagnostics, biostatistics and single-cell analysis, and placed her in a Freiburg orthopaedics institute for the thesis. She served as Vice President of the Studierendenkonferenz for her cohort from winter semester 2023/24 through summer semester 2024, and continued as an expert participant the following year after the faculty restructuring. That role was mostly about international students who kept meeting the same obstacles. Her thesis question is a precision medicine question in the strict sense, since it asks what distinguishes one cell's response from another's rather than what a population does on average. The doctorate she is preparing would continue it in the same institute.
