The BioDIP network currently consists of 11 facilities belonging to 5 different research institutions that in turn belong to three different research organizations. All of the research institutions are member of DRESDEN-concept, the excellence research alliance of the TU Dresden together with strong partners of research and culture.
The Biopolis Dresden Imaging Platform constitutes a multi-institutional network of core imaging facilities and provides open access to state-of-the-art microscopy systems as well as image analysis. It offers a comprehensive range of imaging technologies coupled with the profound expertise of BioDIP staff to more than 500 users per year. The BioDIP is currently supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG).

The Biotechnology Center (BIOTEC) was founded in 2000 as a central scientific unit of the Technische Universität Dresden. It is a unique interdisciplinary center focusing on research and teaching in molecular bioengineering.
The Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD) at the TU Dresden was founded 2006 as a research center of the German Research Association (DFG). Goal of the CRTD is to explore the capacity for regeneration of the human body and to develop novel regenerative therapies for so far incurable diseases.
The DZNE was founded in 2009 with the Dresden site being established in 2010. The aim of the research performed in Dresden is to make the findings of stem cell and plasticity research operable in preventing and treating neurodegenerative disease.
The MPI-CBG was founded in 1998. Researchers at the MPI-CBG perform basic research to discover how cell division and cell differentiation work, which structures can be found in cell organelles and how cells exchange information and materials.
The Medical Theoretical Center is part of the medical faculty Carl Gustav Carus of the TU Dresden. It is host to several clinical institutes and offers lab space to dedicated research projects.
A research alliance of the TUD with the strong partnership of the research and culture areas resulting in the ideal way to communicate the excellence of research in Dresden.
The Helmholtz Association researches major challenges to secure the future of our society. With more than 38,000 staff in 18 research centres, the Helmholtz Association is Germany’s largest scientific organisation.
The Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science is an independent, non-profit research organization. Currently, 83 Max Planck Institutes perform basic research in the natural sciences, life sciences, social sciences, and the humanities – in the service of the general public.
The Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) is one of the largest technical universities in Germany and one of currently 11 German excellence unversities. Its focus on biomedicine, bioengineering, materials sciences, information technology, microelectronics as well as energy and environment are considered exemplary in Germany and throughout Europe.
The Center for Molecular Bioengineering (B CUBE) was founded in 2008 as a Center for Innovation and operates as a scientifically independent unit of Technische Universitaet Dresden. B CUBE focuses on the investigation of living structures on a molecular level, translating the knowledge into innovative methods, materials and technologies.
The BioDIP provides around 100 instruments, among them more than 40 large equipments and covers a broad range of modern imaging technologies such as:
The BioDIP was highly recommended to become a multimodal node for Advanced Light Microscopy within the Euro-BioImaging network, a European landmark research infrastructure recognized by the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI). Euro-BioImaging became fully functional in December 2019 and was grated the legal status of an ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium). Until now Germany did not join Euro-BioImaging.
