In 2002, the Max Bergmann Center of Biomaterials (MBC) was opened on the campus of the Leibniz Institute for Polymer Research (IPF). Under the common roof of a dedicated laboratory building, the center unifies researchers and facilities from the Institute of Materials Science at the Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) and the IPF to work on biology-inspired materials. This seamless, subject-based cooperation is considered a role model for the DRESDEN-concept (Dresden Research and Education Synergies for the Development of Excellence and Novelty), a strategic alliance between the TUD and non-university research institutes in Dresden. MBC researchers actively contribute to the Center of Regenerative Therapies Dresden (CRTD) and the B CUBE - Center for Molecular Bioengineering.
