Scientific Advisory Board
The Scientific Advisory Board is composed of internationally renowned scientists who are based outside of Basel. Members of the Advisory Board cover with their expertise both basic and clinical aspects of the research addressed in the research areas of the DBM and at least two members are assigned to each Research Area. The Advisory Board organizes itself independently and appoints one of its members as chair.
The Scientific Advisory Board visits the DBM once a year and evaluates research quality of individual research groups and organizational aspects of the department. It writes a report for the attention of the DBM Management Team and the DBM Council (KOG), which is composed of members of the Rectorate, of the Faculty and the directors of the Basel University Hospitals.
The Scientific Advisory Board can also be consulted during the year on specific issues.
