TU Dresden has a long successful tradition in engineering and materials science. Due to the establishment of the interdisciplinary Masters Course “Molecular Bioengineering” in 2002, and a joint Max Planck Institute/TU Dresden PhD programme, the TU Dresden now has a strong standing in Molecular Bioengineering and Molecular Biotechnology education. Both the organisation and the contents of the course are based on a new educational concept aiming for state-of-the-art education in cutting edge science and technology by a truly international faculty. The course is not organized by a single department but by a new biotechnological research centre (BIOTEC) within the university. The biotechnological research centre regroups staff from different engineering and sciences disciplines.
The TU Dresden has a strong position in Molecular Bioengineering and Molecular Biotechnology. The establishment of the Biotechnical centre (BIOTEC) of the TU Dresden is supported by 5 new professorships (Genomics, Proteomics, Cellular Machines, Biophysics and Bioinformatics). BIOTEC is an interdisciplinary research centre with aims at building bridges between molecular and cellular biology and the engineering sciences. It is intensively cooperating with other institutes at the university and with other research institutes established in Dresden, especially the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, the Max Bergmann centre of Biomaterials and the Medical Theoretical Centre. The scientific activities of BIOTEC are united with the economic activities of young biotechnology enterprises under the common roof of the Bio Innovations Centre Dresden.
