Location of Dresden University of Technology
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 nano-technology. At this level of spatial resolution, technology meets biology. The machines in our cells and in all life on earth are nano-machines encoded in a genetic language. These nano-machines 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.
To realise this vision of molecular bioengineering, the Masters Course brings a novel combination of biology, biochemistry, biophysics, materials science, medical science, bioinformatics and nanotechnology together. The Masters course aims to teach students the fundamentals in biomedicine and bio-nanotechnology combining biology and technology, which are linked in two ways: On the one hand, biological knowledge on cells is applied to develop the notion of molecular factories; on the other hand, nano-technology and bioinformatics are enabling technologies applicable to engineer biomaterials for medical applications.
Contents
The modules taught in the first three semesters fall into two categories: biomedical and technological modules: The biomedical modules comprise genomics, proteomics, chemistry with bio-molecules, molecular tissue-engineering and biomaterials and the technological modules include bioinformatics, bio-nanotechnology, biophysics and cellular machines. Besides the lectures, there is a seminar series in which students leading researchers present the state-of-the-art and their current research results relevant to the course. Furthermore, there is a module on public and economic aspects of bioengineering, which discusses ethical and jurisdictional issues, patenting, and how to found and lead biotechnoloigal companies. After covering these modules the students devote the last of the four semesters to a thesis.
