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. The BIOTEC also temporarily hosts a new research institute: the DFG Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD). A second new center with close connections to the BIOTEC, the Center for Innovation Competence in Molecular Bioengineering (ZIK B CUBE), recently moved into their own lab space close-by. Contact with the nearby Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) and the TU faculties are also maintained 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.
