The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology (German: Max-Planck-Institut für molekulare Physiologie) is one of 83 institutes in the Max Planck Society (Max Planck Gesellschaft). We are an international team of scientists from more than 30 nations dedicated to investigating the basic physical and biochemical processes in the cells (physiology) at the molecular level. Our research is interdisciplinary: Altogether, we are around 150 researchers, including biologists, biochemists, chemists, physicists and theoreticians. The spectrum of our topics encompasses the investigation of mechanisms that control cell growth, muscular movement, signal transduction, and the causes of cancer. We develop substances with which cellular processes in the organism can be targeted and influenced, and which may lead to the discovery of new drugs. --------------------------- With great interest, we try to follow the career steps of our alumni and try not to lose track of them.
