Teaching at CMCB

The CMCB is a teaching unit of the TU Dresden. It offers three international Master's programs (M.Sc.), whose research-oriented teaching is based on the specific expertise of the institutes. In addition, it offers the Master’s course Computational Modeling and Simulation, which is run jointly by the Faculty of Computer Science, the School of Science and the CMCB. The CMCB researchers also teach at Bachelor's and Master's level in various faculties and departments of the TU Dresden, and supervise PhD students.
The Student Office takes care of the organisation and coordination of the teaching and gives support to the students of the CMCB.

Teaching Offers

Molecular Bioengineering

The Master’s program teaches the basics of biomedicine and bionanotechnology with two goals: on the one hand, to be able to better characterize and understand complex molecular machines with the help of biological approaches and, on the other hand, to use nanotechnology and bioinformatics technologies for the application in the development of biomaterials and biomedicine.

Physics of Life

The Master’s program Nanobiophysics has been reshaped – as of October 2022 it is offered as Master’s program Physics of Life/PoL. The new course provides a unique training at the cross-roads of Physics and Biology in a rapidly growing field. It intends to teach fundamentals in biophysics, quantitative biology and bionanotechnology in order to a) characterize biological processes at the molecular, cellular and tissue level, b) discover and understand emergent properties of biological systems, and c) harness novel analytical and experimental tools for both academic research and biotechnological applications.

Regenerative Biology and Medicine

The Master's program offers interdisciplinary education in the fields of stem cells, regenerative biology, tissue engineering, and clinically focused human biology and pathology, with the aim of preparing students to perform research that can be applied to regenerative medicine therapies.

Nanobiophysics

The Master's program in Nanobiophysics teaches the basics of biophysics and bionanotechnology with two goals: on the one hand to use nanotechnological approaches to develop complex molecular machines to be able to characterize and understand biomolecules better, and on the other hand to make use of these molecules in technological systems and to use them as templates or model systems for bottom-up nanotechnology.

Bachelor, Master, Doctorate

Bachelor – Although the CMCB currently does not offer any study programs on Bachelor's level, CMCB researchers are involved in the teaching of practical and theoretical classes in the Bachelor's programs of other faculties at TUD.

Master – The CMCB is the teaching unit for the Master's courses (M.Sc.) Molecular Bioengineering, Physics of Life and Regenerative Biology and Medicine. All three Master's courses are taught in English. A cooperation with four European universities opens the possibility of the EU-funded Erasmus Mundus program of M.Sc. Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. In addition, the CMCB is involved in the track "Computational Life Science" in the new Master’s course Computational Modeling and Simulation which started in October 2018.

PhD – At the CMCB it is possible to accomplish an experimental dissertation in one of the various research groups, as a PhD student either in the Dresden International PhD Program (DIPP) or as a Bioscience PhD student (BiPS). For the PhD students, the CMCB offers several possibilities that support a scientific career.
