The Biotechnology Center (BIOTEC) of the Technische Universit��t Dresden is a unique interdisciplinary center focusing on research and teaching in molecular bio-engineering. The BIOTEC hosts top international research groups working on genomics, proteomics, biophysics, cellular machines, molecular genetics, tissue engineering, and bioinformatics. The Biotechnology Center (BIOTEC) was founded in 2000 as a central scientific unit of the Technische Universit��t Dresden. The center is an essential part of implementing the Biotechnology-Offensive of the Free State of Saxony within the TU Dresden. The main goal in establishing and developing this center was to link the revolutionary change within molecular and cell biology to Dresden''s traditionally strong background in engineering. Dresden''s aspired innovation advantages as a location for developing state-of-the-art biotechnology are already visible in some parts. The BIOTEC plays a central role in the Molecular Bioengineering and Regenerative Medicine profile of the TU Dresden, fostering developments in the new field of Biotechnology/Biomedicine. Establishing and developing a strong and internationally competitive research center molecular bioengineering required a powerful nucleus. The BIOTEC started with five professorships and one junior research group recruited within the Biotechnology-Offensive of the Free State of Saxony. Through the interdisciplinary work of these researchers from different fields and faculties, the development of the center was catalyzed, and the main goal of building an internationally competitive research structure is now well underway. Today, the BIOTEC houses six professorships and seven junior research groups. Their work has given rise not only to novel discoveries in modern life sciences, but the translation of these finding into economically useful innovations. The BIOTEC is located within the BioInnovation Center in Dresden, which has provided an atmosphere essential for its development. In accordance with its motto Science and Economy under one roof, the BioInnovation Center offers a unique opportunity for knowledge and technology transfer between the research center and start-ups working on biotechnology and related fields of cutting-edge technology. The BIOTEC has about 230 members from over 35 countries, including Eastern and Western Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas.

The Statistics and Bioinformatics research group has as its main objectives the development of methods and tools to deal with problems appearing in the interface between Statistics and Bioinformatics. We started focusing in DNA microarrays but we are also interested in statistical methods for ''omics'' data integration and next generation sequencing (NGS). Our group collaborates with different research groups in the fields of biology and biomedicine, to whom it offers statistical support for problems which are specifically statistic in nature, such as experimental design or microarray data analysis, and also in more general aspects, such as modeling, analysis or data mining. After a first period of collaboration agreements with the Fundaci�� Vall d''Hebr��n Institut de Recerca we contributed to the creation of the Statistics and Bioinformatics Unit (UEB) which provides statistical and bioinformatical support to VHIR researchers.

Software for identifying differentially methylated regions between unique samples using array based methylation profiles. It allows researchers to compare n greater than or equal to 2 unique samples with regard to their methylation profile. The (pairwise) comparison of n unique single samples distinguishesit from other existing pipelines as these often compare groups of samples in either single CpG locus or region based analysis. DMRforPairs defines regions of interest as genomic ranges with sufficient probes located in close proximity to each other. Probes in one region are optionally annotated to the same functional class(es). Differential methylation is evaluated by comparing the methylation values within each region between individual samples and (if the difference is sufficiently large), testing this difference formally for statistical significance.

Scientists at the Yates Lab at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) rely on information yielded by tandem mass spectrometry to identify proteins from complex mixtures. Using this powerful technique, researchers draw upon a cross section of fields to increase the scope, sensitivity, and throughput of technologies for practical proteomics. Biologists provide the questions that drive our research. By identifying complexes that are poorly understood or organism-wide issues requiring further exploration, we gain a theoretical understanding of issues that are tractable only through proteomic strategies. Analytical chemists and biochemists improve our tools for revealing the proteins present in biological samples. Targets for optimization include the isolations used to obtain proteins, the steps to generate peptides from these proteins, and the separation of peptides en route to the mass spectrometer. Chemistry is vital to increasing power of proteomic technology. Computer science yields tools on two scales. First, the sequence corresponding to each peptide''s tandem mass spectrum must be identified. Once those identifications have been completed, additional tools are needed to summarize and organize these identifications.
