Research Groups
Our IMPRS Research Groups are located at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG), the Center of Systems Biology Dresden (CSBD) and the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (MPI-PKS). We merge approaches from biology, biophysics, chemistry, computer science and mathematics to understand emergence in living systems.
You can also view the research groups from our partner program, the Dresden International Graduate School for Interdisciplinary Life Sciences (DIGS-ILS).
