Science & Technology
Internationally competitive life science research requires access to state-of-the-art equipment run by highly specialized staff. The joint use of these resources and the available professional expertise allows synergy effects, supports knowledge- and technology-transfer and ensures the economic utilization of equipment.

Cutting-edge Technologies and Services
The advantages resulting from the use of Core Facilities are not only available to researchers of the three CMCB institutes, but are open to all scientists at the Technische Universität Dresden, cooperating institutions, and biotechnology companies.
Targets of the Core Facilities of the CMCB Technology Platform are:
-
boost the scientific efficiency of all life science research groups of the Technische Universität Dresden with the availability of current technologies and equipment
-
offer high-specialized technologies and equipment to a wide user field and thereby raise third-party-funding beyond the institutes of the CMCB
-
increase the attractiveness of Dresden for recruitment and commitment of international researchers
-
increase the competitiveness of junior research groups with best research opportunities and short establishment periods
-
increase the occupancy rate of facilities and equipment to optimize the use of resources (investments, personnel and non-personnel costs, infrastructure)
-
support the establishment and use of synergies within the university but also with non-university partners (DRESDEN-concept)
The BIOTEC technology platform is now part of the CMCB technology platform. BIOTEC supports this through an application-oriented research project (Molecular Bioengineering of Proteins, Cells and Tissues - No. 100344812) and a research infrastructure improvement project (Modern Research Infrastructure for Molecular Bioengineering of Proteins, Cells and Tissues - No. 100347528), both funded by the EFRE initiative of the European Union and the Free State of Saxony. Within this framework, the CMCB TP CFs Mass Spectrometry, Electron Microscopy and Histology, Lightmicroscopy, and Microstructure are funded.
