Organization:Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology

From HandWiki

The Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology Tübingen was located in Tübingen, Germany ; it was founded as Max Planck Institute for Virus Research in 1954 as an offshoot of the Tübingen-based Max Planck Institute for Biology. From 1984 to 2021, it was named Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology. The topics of scientific research conducted at the institute cover a very wide range -- from biochemistry, cell and developmental biology to evolutionary and ecological genetics, functional genomics and bioinformatics -- in order to address fundamental questions in microbial, plant and animal biology, including the interaction between different organisms.
