Institute of Molecular Biology gGmbH (IMB)

The Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB, www.imb.de) is a centre of basic research on the campus of Mainz University, Germany. Our research focuses on the biology of the nucleus, ranging from the molecular to the organismic level.

Mainz has a population of 200,000 and is host to a diverse range of people, around 40,000 of which are students. The city itself is charming and open-minded and is within easy reach of cosmopolitan Frankfurt, the Rhine valley region with its castles, vineyards, and nature reserves, and the equally picturesque cities of Wiesbaden and Heidelberg. With Frankfurt airport – the largest airport in mainland Europe – only 20 minutes away, countless European and overseas destinations are within easy reach.
