For those interested in research, Leipzig offers many promising possibilities. Our research facilities offer an ideal work environment for beginning and experienced researchers alike.
Whether photovoltaics, holographics, heart catheters, stem cells or biomass - all of these are being researched, developed and produced in Leipzig. And - as you would expect from a city with a long tradition in trade - in Leipzig, transfer and exchange are well-supported. Development is driven by cooperation between research facilities, universities, business and the city. Economics meets Science meets Economics - that's the way it works in Leipzig.
Here, young companies from the areas of biotechnology, biomedicine and health management are hard at work addressing the current issues in those respective fields.
A joint project of Leipzig industry and science, quick product development times - from the concept phase to market-ready application - have made this into a bustling centre of bioscience in Germany. The centre was established with the aim of developing new technologies in the areas of molecular biotechnology, cellular biotechnology and regenerative medicine. In these fields of research, the goal is to detect diseases early, identify their molecular origins, and to facilitate individualized therapy.
The human body is a factory, comprised of cells. How to identify, repair and exchange defective cells and organs is the goal of researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology. The institute contains molecular and cell biology laboratories, with state-of-the-art imaging technology and facilities for developing and testing cell therapies.
