Long Night of Science

On June 6, 2026, Berlin’s research institutes and universities will open their doors on the Long Night of Science. At the MPIMG we will offer a mix of engaging lectures, guided lab tours, hands-on experiments and demonstrations. 

The interplay of genes

At the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, we want to understand how the genome functions and how it is regulated, especially during embryonic development and disease. 

A characteristic feature of our work is the combination of experimental and computational methods. We use numerous model systems, high-throughput and automated procedures. For data analysis and interpretation we use the tools that bioinformatics provide.
