The School of Medicine: Teaching and Research – Directly for the People
Numerous innovative ideas in the field of medicine originated at TU Dresden’s FM CGC. Furthermore, this faculty is the first nationwide with certified teaching according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2008. At the same time, the FM represents the School of Medicine of the whole TU Dresden. Those who want to embody science today will need a good network – one with many nodes – in order to have a solid financial footing, to publish one’s findings and also to implement and apply research results obtained in the laboratory.
Therefore, the FM and the University Hospital have jointly created a viable basis and united under the roof of the Dresden University Medicine in order to develop Dresden into an attractive location for researchers and students of human medicine and dentistry by interacting with each other.
In 2021, the Dresden University Medicine was able to acquire third-party funds amounting to €68.7m. Almost 900 additional jobs that have been financed through these third-party funds turn biomedical research into a job-motor for the city and the region. Additionally, the impact-factors as measurements for the quality of the publications of scientists have steadily increased. Especially the increased number of successfully acquired and continued individual projects of the University Medicine is a good indicator for the fact that science is lived and embodied in Dresden. Securing the necessary administrative and infrastructural preconditions for the further successful development of the School of Medicine and the Dresden University Medicine is the major concern of the administration of the school.
Speaker of the School Prof. Dr. med. Dr. Esther Troost
Esther Troost is Professor of Image-Assisted High-Precision Radiation Therapy and has headed the Clinic and Polyclinic for Radiation Therapy and Radiation Oncology at the Carl Gustav Carus University Hospital since 2019. Her work and research focus is individualized photon and proton-based radiation therapy and the identification of objective parameters for predicting tumor responses or side effects.
Prof. Troost is one of the internationally recognized experts in her field and regularly publishes her research results in high-ranking international journals. Among other things, she is a board member of the European professional association ESTRO and has already received prestigious awards for her clinically relevant and patient-oriented research, such as the ESTRO Varian Award or the DEGRO High-Precision Radiation Therapy Award. Since the end of 2021, Prof. Troost, as dean of the Carl Gustav Carus Medical Faculty at TUD, has been committed to strengthening joy and productivity in the core tasks of research and teaching in the clinical environment - tasks that are flanked by securing and expanding medical care of future fields.
