iPS Facility: researchers working under the hood

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.

KEY TOPICS AT A GLANCE

Research areas

Our basic research is focused on elucidating the mechanisms underlying the emergence of tissues from embryonic progenitors in a variety of systems, including the central nervous system and the retina, the haematopoietic system, the pancreas and bone. CRTD researchers investigate lineage commitment decisions, and key regulatory molecules that direct self-renewal and differentiation, tissue homeostasis and repair, as well as the aberrant signalling that occurs in disease.

Technology Platform

The technology platform has several core facilities that provide access to state-of-the-art research equipment and offer specialized services based on the expertise of the CRTD research groups. This service requires intensive training of staff and major investment into maintenance and replacement of equipment.

Industry Partners

By creating tailored collaborations with industry, we deliver deep insight into disease biology and the right tools to enhance the R&D efforts and product development of our partners.

Cutting-edge Technologies and Services

The advantages resulting from the use of core facilities are not only available for researchers of the CMCB, but are open to all scientists at the Technische Universität Dresden, cooperating institutions, and biotechnology companies.

Targets of the existing core facilites of the 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 therewith raise third-party-funding beyond the CMCB
increase the attractiveness of Dresden for requitment 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, infrastucture)
support the establishment and use of synergies within the university but also with non-university partners (Dresden-concept)
