Seminars & Events

Prof. Gad Asher heads a research group at the Weizmann Institute in Israel. The lab studies circadian biology and metabolism (e.g., exercise and hypoxia) by combining molecular, physiological, behavioral, and computational approaches. The overarching goal is to uncover molecular mechanism within the core clock circuitry in respect to cellular metabolism and identify metabolic cycles in mammals. Gad visits the Institute in November and will present a talk on “The cross talk between circadian clocks and oxygen biology”. [more]

Started in 2012 at the MPI-IE, the “Forschung höchstpersönlich” talk series offers a platform for our scientists to present their research to non-scientific staff, enhancing understanding and collaboration. Held quarterly and conducted in German, the talks are hosted by the institute's Public Relations Officer, fostering a deeper connection within the institute. [more]

The international meeting on the broad area of epigenetics and chromatin takes place at the MPI of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg on 4 - 6 December 2024. [more]

The tri-national "Gene Regulation Club" is a half-day symposium that brings together chromatin, epigenetics, and transcription groups from within the Strasbourg (IGBMC), Freiburg (MPI-IE), and Basel (FMI) area. With an informal but high-quality atmosphere, the meeting aims to foster discussion and inspire new and strengthen existing collaborations. The meeting encourages PhD students and Postdocs to present their work. [more]

Rohit V. Pappu is the Director of the Center for Biomolecular Condensates (CBC), Washington University in St. Louis. He joins the Max Planck Freiburg Special Guest Lecture Series. [more]

The Lagha lab uses quantitative imaging to uncover the mechanisms regulating gene expression in space and time during development [more]
