Overview
The MSc Molecular Bioengineering at TU Dresden has established a novel combination of the fields of biology, biochemistry, biophysics, materials science, medical science, bioinformatics and nanotechnology.
A graduate is able to combine his knowledge of biomedical contents with an engineering approach to current research questions and can contribute to an efficient technology transfer. He will be qualified to work in a wide range of R&D work fields.
20th century physics and biology took science to the atomic and molecular level. To meet today's technological challenges we have to follow this trend and move from micro- to nanotechnology. At this level of spatial resolution, technology meets biology. The machines in our cells and in all life on earth are nanomachines encoded in a genetic language. These nanomachines provide functionality at a much smaller scale, greater efficiency, consuming less energy and creating less pollution as is currently possible with micro-technologies. We have to understand how to engineer such cellular machines.
Professional Field
- The dynamic development in life sciences and biotechnology creates a huge demand for qualified scientists in these areas.
- Graduates of the Molecular Bioengineering program will be able to find appropriate positions in research institutes as well as in biotechnology, pharmaceutical and software industry.
- The great majority of our students go for a PhD after graduation.
Programme Structure
The courses taught in the first three semesters fall into two categories:- a biomedical area (Chemistry with Biomolecules, Genomics, Proteomics, Genomes and Stem Cell Engineering, Protein Networks and Protein Engineering)
- a biotechnological area (Bionanotechnology, Bioinformatics, Biomaterials, Biophysics, Cellular Machines). In the second and third semesters students can specialize in one of these two areas by choosing either “Application to Biomedicine” or “Application to Technology”. The fourth semester is dedicated to the master’s thesis.
