Within the scope of her Open Topic Postdoc Position, Dr. Veronika Magdanz is investigating the potential of sperm as powerful carriers. In the long term, spermatozoa could be converted into “micro-motors” for use as diagnostic or therapeutic aids, e.g. in reproductive medicine or cancer therapy.

The Open Topic Postdoc Positions provide advanced postdoctoral researchers with the opportunity to pursue their own research projects, regardless of their specialisation. Dr. Magdanz is one of 17 international junior scientists who are conducting research at TU Dresden as part of the Institutional Strategy.
