The International Max Planck Research School for Molecules of Life (short: IMPRS-ML) was established in 2005. The research oriented PhD program is operated by the
IMPRS-ML is 100% committed to basic research and aims to address fundamental questions in the following research areas:
- Biochemistry
- Biophysics
- Bio-imaging
- Computational Biology
- Gene Regulation
- Immunobiology
- Proteomics
- Structural Biology
- Signaling
- Systems Biology
Although students specialize in a particular research topic, the interdisciplinary context of the program facilitates interactions with other research groups and fosters the ability of cross-frontier thinking. Laboratory work is supplemented by seminars, summer schools, elective courses, training in soft skills and participation in national or international conferences. Currently, more than 200 doctoral students are enrolled in IMPRS-ML and approximately 50% of those come from abroad (Germany: 50%, Europe: 30%, Overseas: 20%)
Annually, 30 to 40 doctoral students from all over the world are accepted to the program. Deadline for application at the end of October, each year. All doctoral students receive a fellowship covering living expenses and tuition. Entry requirement is a
Currently, more than 250 doctoral students from all over the world are working at the Max Planck Institutes of Biochemistry and Biological Intelligence, together with numerous doctoral students from close by university laboratories. Amongst other activities, graduate students organize a regular social get together, a seminar series, and <interact>, an annual student symposium.
