Max Planck Institute for molecular Genetics

The Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics is a Max Planck Society institute in Berlin-Dahlem. It was founded in 1964 and belongs to the Society's biology and medicine section. It is a specialist molecular-biology institute. Doctoral degrees are conferred by Berlin universities rather than by the institute itself.

Research covers genome function, gene regulation, developmental genetics, epigenetics, and computational biology, with sequencing, imaging, and bioinformatics platforms. Graduate schools and IMPRS programs link the institute to Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität, and Charité.

The institute houses several hundred staff and doctoral researchers, a large share of them international, and has no undergraduate student body. Alumni enter academic genetics, biotechnology, and clinical research.

Doctoral work is a thesis under a group leader, with structured coursework in a graduate school. Positions are funded. The Dahlem campus lies in southwest Berlin among other science institutes, with city housing rather than a residential college.

In the Grad School Navigator directory, Max Planck Institute for molecular Genetics lists 1 doctoral program, in biology.
