Dresden International Graduate School for Biomedicine and Bioengineering (DIGS-BB)
The BIOTEC professors and group leaders have a major share in organizing and running the Dresden International Graduate School for Biomedicine and Bioengineering (DIGS-BB).
In joint association with the International Max Planck Research School for Molecular Cell Biology and Bioengineering (IMPRS-MCBB), the DIGS-BB represents a faculty of more than 80 group leaders and offers International PhD Programs that provide outstanding opportunities for university graduates to work towards a PhD or MD/PhD with ambitious thesis projects in the following three interconnected research areas:
1. Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology (CellDevo Program)
The program offers research in a wide variety of experimental model systems and addresses questions of cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, neurobiology and bioinformatics. Students are provided with comprehensive research opportunities in molecular cell and developmental biology and training to place cellular processes into an organismic context.
2. Regenerative Medicine (RegMed Program)
Basic molecular and cellular research with translational and clinical studies will interconnect in this program, which addresses not only students of natural sciences who wish to enter medical research but also medical students who wish enhanced training in life sciences. Medical students may complete the program with up to two doctoral degrees, MD and PhD.
3. Nanobiotechnology, Biophysics and Bioengineering (NanoBio Program)
The aim of this program is to foster interdisciplinary research in cutting edge fields of nanosciences. The program is represented by faculty whose specific research areas include molecular biology, membrane biology, cell biophysics, single molecule techniques, micro- and nanofluidics, cell micro-manipulation, high-end imaging, nanophotonics, biomaterials, polymer science and nanotechnology.
