Eight million for the cell fluid of the future TU Dresden scores with research at the interface of physics and biology

TU Dresden has done it again and prevailed in the current selection round of the German Research Foundation. With the new Research Training Group Biomolecular Condensates from Physics to Biological Functions, the university has secured over eight million euros in funding for the next five years. The programme will start in spring 2026.

The focus is on small structures with a big impact. Biomolecular condensates are tiny, membrane-less cellular building blocks that play a crucial role in stress situations and in signalling. How exactly they function is still a mystery. This is precisely where the new research group comes in. Together with strong partners from the DRESDEN concept network, TU Dresden wants to provide new answers with a mix of polymer physics and molecular biology.

Science Minister Sebastian Gemkow sees the decision as a clear confirmation of the international appeal of Dresden as a centre of research. Following the success of the Physics of Life Cluster of Excellence, the new Research Training Group is another exclamation mark in Saxony's scientific landscape.
