Accordingly, approx. 80 workgroups of the ZMB combine basic and applied biomedical sciences. The interdisciplinary research approach is also reflected in joint research and collaborative projects between the three participating faculties, which focus on three research areas: i) oncology, ii) immunology, infectious diseases and transplantation and iii) molecular and chemical cell biology.

A dynamic, stimulating and collaborative research environment includes state of the art facilities and more than 600 highly educated personnel. Our interdisciplinary research crosses traditional boundaries and involves joint projects with the biotechnical and pharmaceutical industry, nanotechnology, physics and engineering.

ZMB members actively participate in our educational and research-oriented Bachelor- and Master Schemes in Medical Biology and Molecular Biology that prepare for a scientific career in the biomedical field. Doctoral students benefit from established measures for the promotion of young scientists, such as structured (inter)national doctoral programs initiated under the auspices or with the participation of ZMB members.
