We Train the Next Generation of Excellent Scientists in Biophysics!

The IMPRS on Cellular Biophysics (IMPRS-CBP) is an international graduate school, hosted by the Max-Planck-Institute of Biophysics, Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and Frankfurt Institute of Advanced Studies.

How Is Complex Subcellular Architecture Created from Individual Molecular Functions that Act in Concert?

Biophysics is an interdisciplinary science that applies the theories and methods of physics to understand biological phenomena. Our mission is to tackle one of the ultimate biological challenges: to gain a complete molecular-level understanding of the cell.
