Welcome to the Biotechnology Center of the TU Dresden
The Biotechnology Center (BIOTEC) of the Technische Universität Dresden is a unique interdisciplinary center focusing on research and teaching in molecular bio-engineering. The BIOTEC hosts top international research groups working on genomics, proteomics, biophysics, cellular machines, molecular genetics, tissue engineering, and bioinformatics.
The BIOTEC has about 230 members from over 35 countries, including Eastern and Western Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas. These researchers have diverse backgrounds, covering biology, medicine, physics, chemistry, computer science, and engineering. The BIOTEC offers excellent lab facilities and infrastructure, as well as close links to companies residing in the same building. Located right next to the BIOTEC is the research building of the DFG Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD) / Cluster of Excellence at the TU Dresden. The Center for Molecular Bioengineering B CUBE (ZIK B CUBE), is also located close-by. Contact with the nearby Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) and the TU faculties are maintained as well by the BIOTEC. Faculty members of the BIOTEC teach in the Dresden International School for Biomedicine and Bioengineering for PhD students (DIGS-BB), in two international Masters Courses in Molecular Bioengineering and Nanobiophysics, and in different TU Dresden disciplines involving biology, physics and chemistry.
