solimena group

We are a research group interested in the cell biology of the insulin-producing β-cells of the pancreatic islets and the molecular fundamentals of diabetes. 

Our group currently comprises more than 20 people from six countries with training in molecular cell biology, biochemistry and medicine plus a lab manager. 

Our location is the Medical Theoretical Center (MTZ) in the beautiful city of Dresden (City of Science 2006) in the East of Germany near Poland and the Czech Republic. We are part of the Medical Faculty Carl Gustav Carus and we are tightly linked to the Department of Medicine III, the new Max Planck Institute for Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG), the DFG Center for Regenerative Therapies (CRTD) and the Biotechnology Center of Dresden University (BIOTEC)
