Research at the Interface between Biology and Physics
How to organs determine and control their size? This question has gone unanswered for a long time in the field of biology. Developmental biologist, Dr. Rita Mateus, is looking for an answer in the DRESDEN-concept research alliance. With her team, she is examining the growth and formation of organs in zebrafish and the extent to which this research can be applied to humans. Her position is jointly funded by the
Cluster of Excellence Physics of Life (PoL) at TU Dresden and the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG). Dr. Mateus is one of eight passionate scientists providing insights into cutting-edge research at TU Dresden in the film
"Bright Minds. Excellent Research.". She reveals how she benefits from DRESDEN-concept in the new video.
