Location & approach

By car

The campus of Dortmund University of Technology is located near the Dortmund West motorway junction, where the A45 Sauerland route crosses the B1/A40 Ruhr expressway. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 motorway leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 motorway leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

The ‘Dortmund Universität’ S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 20 or 30 minutes to Dortmund Central Station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf Central Station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. The university can also be reached by bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr transport association, and DSW21 also offers an interactive network map.

The H-Bahn

The H-Bahn is one of the landmarks of TU Dortmund University. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Centre via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 runs every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this route in two minutes.

By plane

From Dortmund Airport, you can take the AirportExpress to Dortmund Central Station in just over 20 minutes and from there take the S-Bahn to the university. Düsseldorf Airport, around 60 kilometers away, offers a wider range of international flight connections and can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university station.

Plan of site & interactive map

The facilities of TU Dortmund University are spread over two campuses, the larger Campus North and the smaller Campus South. Additionally, some areas of the university are located in the adjacent "Technologiepark".

Review: Emerging concepts in the semisynthetic and mutasynthetic production of natural products

10/17/2022

A new review article has been published.

Abstract:

Natural products have greatly influenced the development of drugs to combat infectious diseases, cancer, and other disorders affecting human well-being. Only rarely, a natural product is used in an unmodified form for therapeutic purposes. More often, natural product derivatives are preferred due to improved activity or toxicity profiles. These compounds are usually produced using 'hybrid' processes that integrate organic synthesis and biosynthesis. Either a natural product is isolated from a biological source and then converted into the final drug by semisynthesis or a synthetically prepared precursor is introduced into the engineered biosynthesis of a living cell in a procedure called mutasynthesis. In this review, we will present recent developments in these two research areas, which take advantage of heterologous biosynthesis.
