At the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry we study how molecules interact to perform a wide variety of tasks – in living cells but also in inanimate nature. We are convinced that great discoveries are then made when researchers from different disciplines – such as biology, physics, and chemistry – work closely together and openly exchange ideas.
