Research at IMPRS-ML
The IMPRS-ML offers its students the exciting opportunity to work in a stimulating research environment which is renowned worldwide for its cutting-edge research, progressive technologies and a wealth of state-of-the-art facilities. At the heart of our program are the research school’s faculty members, whose leadership and innovative projects provide our doctoral students with a supportive, albeit challenging, research environment.
Research activities center around three distinct but well-connected research branches to investigate the structure, function and dynamics of biomolecules and to ask how these molecules interact in biological systems to generate appropriate responses to environmental cues. Innovation drivers include the development of advanced technologies and the full integration of complex computational approaches to answer relevant biological questions.
To learn more about the research activities of our individual faculty members, go check out the Research Groups at IMPRS-ML.
