| TUD - Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD) The molecular biosciences provide unique prospects to enhance tissue and organ regeneration. The goal of the CRTD is to develop advanced treatments for haemato-oncological, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, diabetic and bone diseases. Dresden has outstanding expertise in medicine, molecular cell- and developmental biology, stem cell research, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, tissue engineering, biomaterials science, chemistry and nanotechnology, providing a fertile ground for a broad interdisciplinary effort towards developing regenerative therapies. The DFG research center will capitalize on basic research in regenerating model organisms to understand stem cell recruitment, activation, proliferation, homing and differentiation, and will apply this knowledge to control these cellular processes using genetics, surface engineering and microdevices in order to elicit regenerative responses.

| TUD – Faculty of Science, Department of Biology The Department of Biology, established in 1993 as part of the Faculty of Science, consists of about 50 scientists who work in the area of basic and applied biology. Topics include genetics, cell and developmental biology, organismic botany and zoology, endocrinology, parasitology, microbiology, and bio(nano)technology. The new Biology building, an architectural highlight of the University campus completed in 2006, forms the perfect frame for interdisciplinary research and offers ideal working places with state-of-the-art technology for more than 400 students in the fields of Biology and Molecular Biotechnology.

| TUD - Medical Theoretical Center (MTZ) The Medical Theoretical Center (MTZ) houses a number of departments and institutes, which are dedicated to basic and preclinical research. This modern building, inaugurated in 2000, features state-of-the-art laboratories including core facilities such as confocal microscopy, FACS and laboratory animal facilities, seminar rooms and lecture halls, and an open-air atrium in its center. Anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, immunology, cardiovascular research, experimental diabetology, pharmacology, microbiology, clinical sensoring and imaging, and virology are established in the MTZ, which also has space to temporarily accommodate additional research groups based on their project needs. Located on the Carus Campus of the Medical Faculty, the MTZ is in close distance to the MPI-CBG and BioInnovation Center and a key element within the interactive biomedical community. Read more... |

| Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) The MPI-CBG has been created in an exciting period of biomedical science: the first four eukaryotic genomes have been sequenced, including the human genome. This flood of sequence information provides unique possibilities for understanding cellular function. Within this context, the institute focuses on the following questions: How do cells organize themselves, what is the machinery responsible for cellular organization and how does the machinery change to generate the specialised cell types of multicellular organisms, and how do the various cell types assemble to form tissues? To answer these questions, the institute merges molecular cell biology with developmental biology. This challenge will be met by a combination of experimental strategies which include novel genetic, morphological and biophysical approaches. |

| Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (MPI-PKS) The research at the institute in the field of the physics of complex systems ranges from classical to quantum physics and focuses on three main areas, which correspond to the activities in the divisions "Electronic Correlations". "Finite Systems" and "Biological Physics". The institute hosts a visitors progam, and a large scale seminar program including workshops. The aim is to boost new promising research directions and to provide faster contact of young scientists with the rapidly evolving spectrum of new research topics in the broad field of the physics of complex systems. |

| Max-Bergmann-Center for Biomaterials (MBC) The Max Bergmann Center of Biomaterials Dresden (MBC) was established in 2002 as a joint interdisciplinary initiative by the Technische Universität Dresden and the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden. The center aims at providing the competitive edge in biology-inspired materials research for scientists, enterprises and public associations. Emphasis is put on a balance of research and education, on networking with related institutions worldwide and on the 'incubator' function for the commercialization of new ideas for biomaterials-based products. |

| Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden (IPF) The Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden (IPF) belongs to the Leibniz Society and is devoted to application directed fundamental research of different aspects of polymer materials. The work deals with the development of fundamentals of functional polymers and polymer materials with novel or improved properties and with the combination of materials development with innovative and sustainable manufacturing and processing technologies. Projects therefore are highly interdisciplinary and concern in many cases chemistry, physics, engineering and biology. Emphasis is put on interfacial aspects, which includes surface and interface engineering for biotechnology and medicine. |
