Institute Presentation

The Medical Faculty Carl Gustav Carus is part of the University of Technology of Dresden. The Department of Radiotherapy and Radiation Oncology at TUD, with its Section of Experimental Radiation Oncology and Radiobiology, is a dedicated centre for radiation and cancer research, care of cancer patients as well as education and training. To further promote this research area the OncoRay Centre for Radiation Research in Oncology was jointly established by TUD and the Research Centre Dresden-Rossendorf within a highly competitive program of the German Federal Ministry of Science and Education. The Department of Radiotherapy and Radiation Oncology at TUD has an internationally recognized track record research record in the fields of radiation effects in normal tissues,
Prof. Dr. W. Dörr, DVM, PhD, is the head of the normal tissue radiobiology (NTRB) group, head of the radiobiology laboratory and deputy head of the Section on clinical radiation oncology and radiobiology. He is also deputy director of the experimental centre, the core animal breeding and experimentation facility of the faculty, animal welfare manager of both the TUD and the Research Centre Dresden Rossendorf (FZD), where part of the micro-imaging facilities are located.

The Normal Tissue Radiobiology group of the TUD has a long-standing research record in experimental animal radiobiology with studies in various organs such as oral mucosa, urinary bladder, lung, skin, etc., including extensive experience in local organ irradiation, follow-up of the animals and assessment of functional and morphological changes.

The equipment available includes several dedicated X-ray devices for animal and invitro irradiation, an animal breeding and housing facility and diagnostic equipment (small animal PET, CT, MRI), nuclear medicine laboratories, cell culture laboratory equipment, histology equipment including automated image analysis, confocal laser scanning microscopes, laser capture microscope, flow cytometry, and a molecular biology laboratory. Furthermore, equipment and expertise for microarray studies is accessible.
