Get to know Dresden
The Technical University of Dresden (TU Dresden) is one of Germany’s largest and most research-intensive universities. As a member of the German Excellence Initiative, it offers a wide range of degree programmes across natural sciences, engineering, humanities, and social sciences. Interdisciplinary research is a key focus, often in collaboration with external research institutions. A standout example is the BIOTEC (Biotechnology Center), founded in 2000. BIOTEC is an interdisciplinary research centre specialising in molecular cell and developmental biology. Scientists from biology, physics, computer science, and medicine work together on fundamental questions such as gene regulation, cell division, and tissue formation. The centre is internationally oriented, with English as its working language, and it bridges basic research with applications in biotechnology. BIOTEC is part of the Dresden-concept alliance, closely linked with institutes like the Max Planck Society and the Helmholtz Association. It offers an excellent environment for students and early-career researchers, with state-of-the-art labs and cutting-edge projects.
