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.

60 years of MPIMG

The Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics celebrated its 60th anniversary in late May with a scientific symposium and anniversary celebration filled with fascinating science and conversation.

We also took a look at the Institute's key discoveries that have shaped our understanding of the intricacies of the genetic code, its regulation, and its impact on human development, individuality, and disease.
