The Faculty of Biology and Medicine (FBM) has three main missions:

Ensure succession, both academically and clinically

Added to this is the desire to integrate into the City: the FBM wants to be an actor in society, by informing the public, fueling debate, and by stimulating dialogue.

To carry out these missions, the FBM relies on several values:

Freedom, as the only way to guarantee research that is truly at the service of people

Creativity and innovation in both basic and clinical research, but also in the valorization of results, including negative ones

Social responsibility, first towards the City, then towards the students, finally towards the collaborators

Respect for diversity, especially gender, as society evolves and our profession becomes more feminine. Respect in relations with our partners from UNIL and CHUV
