German Research Foundation supports two new Technology Platforms at biomedical Research Institutes of the TU Dresden
At the DFG Research Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden – Cluster of Excellence of the TU Dresden (CRTD) as well as at the Biotechnology Center of the TU Dresden (BIOTEC) the German Research Foundation (DFG) supports two new technology platforms which will each establish a cross-institutional service- and device pool of the highest scientific standards. Each of these research centers will be supported with 450,000 € for three years. A total of 57 applications have been filed nationwide, of which 11 projects will receive funding, two of them alone in Dresden, as announced by the DFG today.
Student of the molecular bioengineering masters program awarded DAAD-Prize 2011
Shradha Das who completed her master’s studies Molecular Bioengineering in 2011 was awarded the DAAD Prize 2011 for her excellent course achievements and her social engagement. The award is combined with a reward of 1.000 EUR and was handed over by the Rector of the TU Dresden Prof. Hans Müller-Steinhagen on 13 January 2012 during a celebratory event for the best graduates of the TU Dresden 2011.
Shradha Das comes from India and studied within the master program Molecular Bioengineering from 2009-2011. She made her master thesis in Michael Brand’s lab and completed her degree as best International graduate 2011. Her engagement as student representative and her motivation to improve the organization of the master programs of the BIOTEC also led to this award. She is now enrolled in one the International PhD programs offered by the Dresden International Graduate School for Biomedicine and Bioengineering.
Girls' Day 2012 on April 26: Diversity Life Sciences - A career in science!
Can I enjoy Genom Engineering? What for a career did a biologist who observes today damaged cells that can regenerate one foot of an axolotl? What tasks does a technician in the fish facility have in an institute? If you are interested in answers to these kinds of questions, or just want to get a taste of science, then the DFG Research Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden/ Cluster of Excellence and the Biotechnology Center of the TU Dresden is the right place for you on April 26 from 14:30pm! Here, researchers from all over the world are working in different areas, like cell biology, biophysics, (regenerative) medicine, or bioinformatics.
You will have the opportunity to talk with scientists and ask them lots of questions. A tour through our building will also give you an idea about the research taking place. Interested girls can register here for the Girl's Day.
Humboldt Professorship: Jochen Guck begins his research at the Biotechnology Center of the TU Dresden
The biophysicist Dr. Jochen Guck (38) currently has started his Humboldt Professorship for cellular machines at the Biotechnology Center of the TU Dresden (BIOTEC). Before, Guck researched at the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University (UK) and will focus at BIOTEC on the development of new biophysical approaches for stem cell research, blood cell diagnostics and neuroregeneration. The award is endowed with five million Euro for five years.
