There is no such thing as "the" Max Planck Institute. In fact, the Max Planck Society operates a number of research institutions in Germany as well as abroad. These Max Planck Institutes are independent and autonomous in the selection and conduct of their research pursuits.
Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry (merged with the Max Planck Institute for Experimental Medicine to form the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, 1 January 2022)
The Max Planck Society is Germany's premier, non-university research organization dedicated to cutting-edge research at 84 Max Planck Institutes.
Welcome to the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research! At our institute, physicists, chemists and biologists create knowledge of long-term relevance to basic medical science. The unifying theme of our research is to observe and manipulate the vastly complex molecular and cellular interactions that are the basis of life.
Max Planck Institute for Protein and Leather Research in Regensburg moved to Munich 1957 and was united with the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in 1977; Max Planck Institute for Virus Research in Tübingen was renamed as Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in 1985;
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (MPIB) are investigating the structure and function of proteins - from individual molecules to whole organisms. Currently, there are 750 employees in nine research departments and 20 research groups, thus making the MPIB one of the largest institutes of the Max Planck Society.
Reinhard Genzel, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching, received the Nobel Prize for Physics 2020 together with Roger Penrose and Andrea Ghez. The Royal Swedish Academy honours the scientists for their black hole research.
The Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) is the largest research institute in the world specializing in general relativity and beyond. The institute is located in Potsdam and in Hannover where it closely collaborates with the Leibniz Universität Hannover.
The physicists of the Max Planck Institute are involved in the world’s biggest experiments, for example the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator at CERN in Geneva, the Gran Sasso underground laboratory in Italy, and the European Northern Observatory on the Canary Islands.
The Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich is one of the world’s leading research institutions for particle physics. Here, scientists study the smallest building blocks of matter and how they interact.
