Introduction
The Institute for Physiological Chemistry strives to offer an attractive, innovative and sound teaching curriculum to our medical students and aims at performing research at an internationally recognized and competitive level. Several groups contribute to this challenge with their projects that deal with both, problems of basic science and of medical application.
Two focal points in the department are signaling in various cell types of the hematopoietic system (Jessberger) and the biology and biochemistry of germ cells (Jessberger). Another focal point is the role of intramembrane proteases during the regulation of intracellular signal transduction and the membrane-trafficking as well as the homeostasis of membrane proteins (Schröder). Other topics include bone-implant interactions and bone regeneration based on stem cells (Hempel). A wide spectrum of methods – biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, imaging, immunology, and animal techniques – are being employed to enhance our scientific understanding in these areas.
Reaching out, the Department is represented within the DFG Research Center for Regenerative Therapies (CRTD) and the Dresden International Graduate School DIGS-BB.
Further, the department runs a FACS facility open to trained users from all over the campus and beyond.

We are looking for voluntary healthy blood donators aged between 18 and 65 to examine the inflammation reaction of immune cells.
A small amount of blood (5 to 8 ml) is needed to isolate leukocytes (white blood cells) and test the efficiency of potential inflammation blockers in cell culture.
No personal data will be collected.
If you want to support this project with your blood donation and hence take part in the research of COVID-relevant inflammatory processes, please get back to Prof. Dr. Rolf Jessberger by e-mail: rolf.jessberger@tu-dresden.de
Many thanks for your support!
