Research Groups
Our 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 and computational biology to understand how cells form tissues. For additional scientific areas, you can also view the research groups from our partner program, the DIGS-BB.
