Welcome to the Library
The library is a special scientific library. Its main responsibility is to offer the scientific literature covering the research areas of the MPI for Molecular Genetics as comprehensively as possible primarily to the institute's staff. The library offers various methods for researching and acquiring scientific information and gives access to important electronic resources like e-journals, e-books and databases.
During the construction phase in tower 1, you will find us in tower 3, 1st floor, room 1.3.74.
All services will be continued without restrictions. Please note: For this entire time a reading room is not available.
