Former professors of the Faculty of Biology
In the course of the structural renewal of TU Dresden in the early 1990s, it was also decided to establish a new Department of Biology. In 1992, under the leadership of Prof. Werner Hempel, the founding committee began its work and the first students were enrolled on the newly established Biology degree course in the winter semester of 1994. Since then, the Department of Biology, which became the Faculty of Biology in 2018, has become an indispensable part of the life sciences in Dresden. In this context, the following former professors should be mentioned, who have laid the foundations for today's faculty with great commitment, especially in the founding and development years, and have driven its constant further development.
