Microbes are tiny organisms that are only visible under a microscope. These microorganisms are omnipresent and influence our lives far more than one might assume at first glance. At the Chair of General Microbiology at TU Dresden, we make this hidden world visible and tangible. Through exhibitions, hands-on activities, workshops and events, we open up our research to schoolchildren, teachers and the interested public. Whether through interactive projects such as ‘Bakteriopolis’, hands-on experiments or discussions with researchers, we offer you the opportunity to experience microbiology up close.
