The Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, founded 1912 as a [[Kaiser Wilhelm Institute]], was relocated from Berlin in 1945 to [[Tübingen]] and moved once more in 1956 to Munich. During this time from 1933 on [[Adolf Butenandt]] was director of the institute. The institute in Munich was founded 1973 by the merger of three former independent institutes, the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, , the Max Planck Institute of Protein and Leather Research, founded 1954 in [[Regensburg]], and the Max Planck Institute of Cell Chemistry, founded 1956 in [[Munich]]. Currently the institute hosts ten departments:<br /> - Cell Biology (Erich A. Nigg)<br /> - Cellular Biochemistry ([[Franz-Ulrich Hartl]])<br /> - Membrane Biochemistry (Dieter Oesterhelt)<br /> - Membrane and Neurophysics (Peter Fromherz)<br /> - Molecular Biology ([[Axel Ullrich]])<br /> - Molecular Cell Biology (Stefan Jentsch)<br /> - Molecular Medicine (Reinhard Fässler)<br /> - Molecular Structural Biology (Wolfgang Baumeister)<br /> - Proteomics and Signaltransduction ([[Matthias Mann]])<br /> - Structural Cell Biology (Elena Conti)<br /> ==Graduate Program== The [[International Max Planck Research School for molecular and cellular Life Sciences|International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences]] is a graduate program offering a Ph.D. in [[biochemistry]]. The school is run in cooperation with the [[Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology]], the [[Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry]], [[Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich]] and the [[Technical University of Munich]]. ==External links== * [http://www.biochem.mpg.de Homepage of the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry] * [http://www.imprs-ls.de/ Homepage of the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences] {{coor title dms|48|6|19|N|11|27|33|E|type:landmark}} [[Category:Max Planck Society|Biochemistry]] [[Category:Munich]] [[Category:Biochemistry research institutes]] [[Category:Research institutes in Germany]] {{Germany-university-stub}} {{sci-org-stub}} [[de:Max-Planck-Institut für Biochemie]]
