The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) is a renowned research institute located in Dresden, Germany. It is part of the Max Planck Society, which is one of the leading organizations for scientific research in Europe. The institute was established in 1998 and has since become a hub for cutting-edge research in the fields of molecular biology, cell biology, and genetics.

Research Focus[edit | edit source]

The MPI-CBG is dedicated to understanding the fundamental principles of cell and tissue organization and function. The research at the institute is highly interdisciplinary, combining approaches from biology, physics, chemistry, and computer science. Key areas of research include:

  • Cellular Organization: Investigating how cells organize their internal structures and how this organization affects their function.
  • Developmental Biology: Studying the processes that govern the development of organisms from a single cell to a complex multicellular entity.
  • Systems Biology: Using computational models to understand the complex interactions within biological systems.
  • Genomics and Proteomics: Analyzing the genetic and protein composition of cells to understand their function and regulation.
