Further Greetings

The SaxoCell cluster for future is a lighthouse project in Saxony
that aims to develop and optimize innovative drugs in the field of
cell and gene therapy by bundling the expertise of various
research institutions, hospitals and industrial partners in order to
significantly improve the therapy of difficult-to-treat diseases.
Here, the University of Leipzig will make an important
contribution through its modern research environment in the
biomedical field as well as through the affiliated, high-
Welcome performance University Hospital.

Former Rector University of Leipzig

SaxoCell is a wonderful example of inter- and transdisciplinary
cooperation. Together with our colleagues in Leipzig and Chemnitz
we are forging a new critical mass in medicine for Dresden and
whole Saxony. SaxoCell not only brings together the strengths of
basic science and medical practice but also manufacturing, and
business development. With its excellent research and modern and
innovative university medicine facilities, TU Dresden is contributing to
develop this socially, economically and scientifically highly relevant
venture. We are looking forward to the next achievements.
