Max Planck Institute for
Molecular Genetics

We discover and investigate principles and mechanisms for selective activation and repression of genes that play essential roles in development and disease
The laboratory of
Enhancerology
Cancer biology
Biophysics and computational biology
Building and testing interdisciplinary gene control models based on principles of soft matter physics
Interrogating the roles of gene dysregulation in cancer to discover new therapeutic concepts
PRECISION GENE CONTROL
Investigating mechanisms of gene control by transcriptional enhancers and their bound factors

We are looking for motivated postdocs / PhD students to join a multidisciplinary team exploring uncharted scientific territory. Applicants of any background or discipline (physics, chemistry, biology, computational science) are welcome.
