Dresden Science Night — Bioprocess Engineering 2026 — The Fascinating World Between Technology and Biology

Biotechnology is present in many areas of our daily lives, often without us even realizing it. But what do the tiny producers behind these processes look like under a microscope? And what might the laboratory of the future look like? These and many other exciting questions invite us to dive into a fascinating world where technology and biology merge. From synthetic biology, which produces valuable substances, to the transparent algae factory, to the mysterious fungi that represent a unique link between plants and animals, there is much to discover. The smart lab of the future, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, also offers a glimpse into upcoming scientific developments.The Chair of Bioprocess Engineering conducts research on a wide range of innovative topics, ranging from molecular biology to algae and plant cell culture to the development of intelligent sensor systems. The research groups present their work through exciting exhibits and interactive experiments that bring science to life for all age groups. Whether it’s hands-on experiments, current research topics, or a short soldering course for children—explorers of all ages will find something to enjoy here. Dive into this fascinating world and experience biotechnology up close!
