The Center for Systems Biology Dresden (CSBD) is an interdisciplinary institute which was built on the joint research program between the MPI-CBG and the MPI-PKS.
The mission of the Center is “to study integrated biological systems and processes using computational and theoretical approaches in close collaboration with experimentalists.” To achieve this mission, the CSBD needs a dedicated space! Construction of a new building to house the Center will begin this fall, and the official groundbreaking event took place last Thursday, August 28. CSBD Director Gene Myers was joined by Stanislaw Tillich, Minister-President of the Free State of Saxony, and Prof. Dr. Martin Stratmann, President of the Max Planck Society, in breaking the ground for the new building, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2016.
