TUD Young Investigator Status for Dr. Stephan Speier

Stephan Speier, research group leader at the DFG Research Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD) - Cluster of Excellence at the Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) and the Paul Langerhans Institute Dresden (PLID) was appointed “TUD Young Investigator” by Prof. Dr. Hans Müller-Steinhagen, Rector of TU Dresden on February 16, 2016. With this newly introduced status, TU Dresden aims to strengthen the position of excellent independent junior research group leaders in Dresden's scientific community by integrating them more closely into the faculties and offering them qualifications tailored to their specific needs. “To me, the major advantages of the TUD Young Investigator are the defined status within the faculty and that I can now function as reviewer and examiner of PhD projects conducted under my supervision. Thereby, this new status depicts a step forward to more independence of research group leaders towards professorship”, says Stephan Speier.
