There is a long-standing tradition of cooperation and exchange between scientists at the Carl Gustav Carus Faculty of Medicine and our partner universities.

The transCampus network, a unique European project for international research cooperation, has been in place since 2015.

There is also cooperation in the form of three graduate colleges:

• IRTG 2773 - Risks and Pathomechanisms of Affective Disorders
• IRTG 2251- Immunological and Cellular Strategies in Metabolic Disease
• IRTG 3019 - Metabolic and Endocrine Drivers of Infection Susceptibility

We are pleased to carry out scientific projects in collaboration with the listed cooperation partners. Our partners come from different fields and contribute to the diversity and depth of our research. If you are interested in a collaboration or would like to learn more about our scientific projects, please do not hesitate to contact us. Together we can realize innovative ideas and gain new insights.

For prospective scientists, we offer a wide range of opportunities for doctoral studies and further scientific training at TU Dresden in cooperation with our partner universities. Our programs and projects are aimed at physicians as well as young researchers from other disciplines.

One option is the binational doctoral procedure for doctors. This procedure offers numerous advantages: you will be scientifically anchored in two countries, can work better on a binational research topic and increase your chances of international publications. This will benefit you when you start your career.

In addition, our International Research Training Groups (IRTGs) offer outstanding opportunities for doctoral students leading to two degrees. (see Scientists)

If you have any questions or would like to find out more about our international doctoral and research programs, please do not hesitate to contact us!
