Short distances, excellent research

How does a single cell develop into a zebrafish? How do molecular motors function? Which new regenerative therapies can be developed to cure diseases in the future? About 200 students work on these and other questions towards a PhD degree in the Dresden International Graduate School for Biomedicine and Bioengineering (DIGS-BB). Only the best graduates of the life sciences, engineering and medicine are offered this opportunity. The 25 year old Jeremy Pulvers from Australia is one of them. He is studying which genes influence the size of mouse brains. Jeremy conducts his PhD in the field of Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology, which together with “Regenerative Medicine” and “Nanobiotechnology, Biophysics and Bioengineering” is one of the three foci of the DIGS-BB.
