Overview
Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences is one of Mongolian most research-intensive universities with a thriving community of innovative and leading researchers. The scope of significant research at MNUMS is broad and diverse, including the fields of medicine, biomedicine, public health, traditional medicine, pharmacy and nursing.
Academic and research priorities (2022-2025):
- Molecular genetic studies of gene, cell, tissue and stem cell
- Disease prevention, diagnostics, research on the implementation of high medical technology
- Public health and environmental research
- Research of new and traditional medicines for human well being (health) on ecologically pure products
- Within the framework of the goal of becoming a research based university, the activities of the Clinical Molecular Diagnostic Center, the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, the Institute of Public Health, and the Institute of Medical Sciences have been integrated. Favorable conditions have been created for the implementation of interdisciplinary and international projects, and programs aimed at solving the problems of the health sector in Mongolia, as well as for the creation of new knowledge, technologies and innovative products.
