Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR)’s Post

How can medical technology improve our #health and what are its limitations? Answers to these questions will be provided in a public panel discussion on October 29 at COSMO Science Forum #Dresden. The event featuring Prof. Larysa Baraban from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) will start at 6pm at the COSMO. In addition, Katharina Langton and Lilli Meseck will also be taking part in the discussion. Langton is leading the Midwifery Bachelor of Science program at TU Dresden as Academic Director. Meseck is a midwifery student in her fourth year. Together with the audience, they will reflect on the possibilities and restrictions of scientific research and the role of human skills that technology cannot replace. 🔸 „Limitations of Technology in Medicine“ – Afterwork Talk 🔹 When: October 29, 2024, 6 – 7.30 p.m. 🔹 Where: COSMO Science Forum Dresden (Schloßstraße 2, 01067 Dresden) 🔹 Language: English 🔹 Admission: free 🔹 Organization: Women@DDc Network and Barkhausen Institut After the discussion, there will be an opportunity to network and continue the exchange.

Our Career Center was on the road in Berlin! Last week, a Career Change Maker Networking Event took place at the Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft Head Office. Experts from across the association came together whose mission is to support employees, especially doctoral researchers and postdocs, facing significant career transitions, internally or externally. HZDR's Dr. Janine Göttling and Dr. Peter Zahn explored opportunities for collaboration and shared their experiences on various contact groups and support services.   A big thank you goes to Lia Lang, Korinna Strobel and their team from the #Helmholtz Head Office for making this event possible.   Find out more about what the #HZDR Career Center has to offer: 👉 https://lnkd.in/ethGvCM6 #careercenter #talentmanagement #careersinscience

GMP, CDMO, PSMA and ROTOP - these and other abbreviations were explained to the doctoral students and postdocs of Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and Technische Universität Dresden during a company visit to ROTOP Pharmaka GmbH. The researchers gained in-depth insights into a fast-growing medium-sized #pharmaceutical company that now has more than 160 employees. HZDR alumni Dr. Susan Hoppmann and Dr. Eik Schiller, both now Vice Presidents of the company, presented their personal career paths and connected them to the development of ROTOP. The company, which was founded in 2000 as ROTOP Pharmaka GmbH at the Rossendorf site, is considered a spin-off of the HZDR as it continues the tradition of producing radiopharmaceuticals from the ROssendorf isoTOPes. You can read more about the history here: https://lnkd.in/e2iCmkFa. But to the other abbreviations: 👉 GMP stands for the rules of current Good Manufacturing Practice, according to which active ingredients, sterile lyophilizates and reagents are prepared. ROTOP manufactures #radiopharmaceuticals for #diagnostics in #nuclear #medicine in two own clean room #facilities on the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf campus. 👉 CDMO stands for Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization. As a third business unit, ROTOP offers a one-stop-shop solution with CDMO services ranging from development and #GMP manufacturing to market launch and distribution. 👉 PSMA: In recent years, the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) has become an important research focus as a target for the imaging and treatment of prostate carcinomas. That is why ROTOP is pursuing the development of a 99mTc-PSMA SPECT/CT tracer candidate. Besides that, ROTOP also collaborates on scientific projects with research institutions such as the HZDR, universities, clinics and companies. The company visit program is an event format to which the Postdoc Center HZDR-TUD and the Technology Transfer and #Innovation department as well as the HZDR Innovators School are jointly inviting. Thanks to all for the interesting exchange and to ROTOP for hosting us.

A significant part of the #HZDR's infrastructure is also available to external researchers. The new #NEPHEWS project focuses on users from countries that do not have large-scale facilities at their disposal. Ever dreamt of having an older sibling in your science field that could show you the ropes? Do you have questions about how to make it in Big Science and dream of conducting an experiment on a light source? Then do not hesitate and rush to www.beamtime.eu to find out more about the NEPHEWS project twinning program at photon and neutron sources of Europe.

Am 12.9. hatten Postdocs & Promovierende von #HZDR & TU Dresden wieder die Möglichkeit, Science Manager kennenzulernen – diesmal bei der Staatlichen Betriebsgesellschaft für Umwelt und Landwirtschaft (BfUL). Die Behörde ist dem Sächsisches Staatsministerium für Energie, Klimaschutz, Umwelt und Landwirtschaft nachgeordnet und erhebt Daten über den Zustand von Boden, Wasser und Luft sowie zu Umweltradioaktivität und Gewässerökologie mittels einer Vielzahl von Messnetzen. Unsere Teilnehmenden erhielten Einblicke in verschiedene Geschäftsbereiche, insbesondere in die genannten Aufgaben, aber auch in die Arbeitskultur der #BfUL.   Mit einleitenden Worten des Geschäftsführers Mathias Dr. - LfULG Böttger begann die nächste Runde „Meet a Science Manager“. Die Leiter*innen der Geschäftsbereiche Immissions- und Strahlenschutz mit Dr. Thomas Heinrich, Messnetzbetrieb Wasser und Meteorologie mit Thomas Höpfner, Landwirtschaftliches Untersuchungswesen mit Dr. Manja Delling sowie Umweltanalytik und Naturschutzmonitoring mit Dr. Sascha Goldstein zeigten, welche Themen in ihren Geschäftsbereichen zusammenlaufen und wie sie dort arbeiten. Nach dieser Vorstellung und dem Austausch zu individuellen Karrierewegen konnten sich die Teilnehmenden bei Rundgängen vor Ort von den Fachkenntnissen in Bereichen wie Strahlenphysik, Schadstoff- und Emissionsmessung und Hydrologie überzeugen lassen.   Wir sagen Danke für den spannenden Austausch und die Möglichkeit, die BfUL kennenzulernen.   Ein weiterer Dank geht an Thomas Titze aus dem Fachbereich Personal, Organisation, Aus- und Fortbildung und Andrea Bonke aus dem Fachbereich Allgemeine Verwaltung, Bau- und Liegenschaften, die den Besuch bei der BfUL ermöglicht haben.
