CMCB Technology Platform at TU Dresden provides access to superior technical and personnel resources through innovative management concepts. The core facilities of the platform such as BIOTEC, CRTD, B CUBE support many research initiatives, stimulate interdisciplinary cooperation and create an important platform for acquisition of national and international funds. Our team thanks to CMCB and all facilities for their great financial support that was valuable for us and without that we were not able to pursue our scientific goal!
B CUBE – Center for Molecular Bioengineering at TU Dresden that carries out research in: (i) BioProspecting applied to identify natural phenomena which answer technological needs, (ii) BioNano Tools developed to characterize biostructures and processes at the molecular level, and (iii) Biomimetic Materials. By learning from natural phenomena and translating this knowledge into technological solutions, B CUBE is building bridges between Life Sciences and Engineering Sciences.
BIOTEC - The Biotechnology Center that is an interdisciplinary research center that develops innovative technologies driving the progress of modern life sciences in the areas of molecular cell and developmental biology, physical biology, and computational biology. Also, the BIOTEC offers teaching via international Masters courses and PhD research to train future scientists in its core research disciplines.
Research at the Center for Regenerative Therapies (CRTD) at TU Dresden focuses on discovering principles of cell and tissue regeneration, and leveraging this for recognition, treatment, and reversal of diseases. The CRTD links the bench to the clinic, and scientists to clinicians to bring expertise in stem cells, gene-editing, and regeneration towards innovative therapies for metabolic, osteo-hematological, and neurological diseases.
The Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) is one of the largest “Technische Universitäten” in Germany and one of the leading and most dynamic universities in Germany. Its focuses in Biomedicine, Bioengineering, Materials sciences, Information technology, Microelectronics as well as Energy and Environment are considered exemplary in Germany and throughout Europe.
Biozym Scientific provides high-quality plastic consumables for daily laboratory use (filter tips, pipette tips, PCR consumables), biochemicals, kits (including agaroses, PCR kits, polymerases) and high-tech equipment systems for molecular biology (gel documentation, thermal cyclers, centrifuges) for many European countries for over 30 years. Additionally, they provide service such as calibration of thermal cyclers and pipettes. Thanks a lot to Biozym for all materials we were provided with such as PCR tubes, electroporation cuvettes, tubes, gloves, and much more!
SnapGene provides the easiest and most secure way to plan, visualize, and document everyday molecular biology procedures. That is why scientists at leading institutions and companies around the globe depend on SnapGene software. And our team is not an exception! We are very thankful to SnapGene for providing us with free SnapGene software that allowed us to perform a primers and constructs design, codon optimization, and many other in silico procedures without that we could not have disregarded to perform our experiments!
Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. (IDT) is in the business of moving science forward. IDT develops nucleic acid products that support the life sciences industry, agriculture, medical diagnostics, and pharmaceutical development having the highest standards of quality, technical expertise, and personalized customer service. Moreover, they have developed proprietary technologies for genomics applications, such as Next Generation Sequencing, CRISPR genome editing, qPCR, and RNA interference. Our team thanks IDT for providing us with 20.000 base pairs of DNA as Gene Fragments! Our BioBricks would not be possible without your great help!
New England BioLabs (NEB) is renowned for consistently providing exceptional product quality and unsurpassed technical support. The NEB primarily offers the largest selection of recombinant and native enzymes for genomic research, but their catalog also includes products related to PCR, gene expression, sample preparation for next generation sequencing, synthetic biology, glycobiology, epigenetics and RNA analysis. Our team was lucky to be supported by NEB and received a lot of indispensable experimental materials such as BioBrick Assembly Kit, loading dyes, different buffers, master mixes, quick-loads, DNA ladders and much more!
Jena Bioscience utilizes more than 25 years of academic know-how to develop innovative reagents for clients from both research and industry in more than 100 countries. To date, Jena Bioscience still remains an owner-operated business. Their technology catalog comprise nucleotides/nucleosides, RNA, click chemistry, molecular biology, LEXSY system, crystallography, Cryo-EM, and much more. Our team was very happy to have a chance to work with the high-quality materials provided by Jena Bioscience such as mini-prep kits, agarose gel extraction kits, DNA ligases, restriction enzymes, and so on.
For more than two decades IBA provides innovative technologies for life science applications. Their product portfolio includes tools for cell selection & expansion, protein production & assays as well as custom oligos & predefined DNA/RNA. Our team would like to say thank you for the three Gravity flow Strep-Tactin® Superflow® high capacity columns as well as the corresponding buffers we were kindly provided with for performing the protein purification!
The mission of Zymo Research is to provide the most reliable, innovative, and valuable biomedical tools and services to our customers through research and strategic development. The company offers a huge amount of products (e.g. DNA, RNA, E. Coli, yeast, proteins and enzymes, columns, microbiomics) as well as a variety of services. Our iGEM team is especially thankful for a huge number of minipreps we received from Zymo Research for our projects and that we were using in most our experiments! And we would like to give our special thanks for the cool socks, bags, and stationery that we were provided with as well to keep our team spirit and mood at the high level!
