Welcome to the International Max Planck Research School in Chemical Biology.

The International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS-CB) offers an international postgraduate program in Chemical Biology leading to Ph.D./Dr. rer. nat. degree. The program was established to provide interdisciplinary education to graduate students and to prepare them for meeting the challenges of the rapidly evolving field of Life Sciences.

The Research School is located at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology in Dortmund and its two partner universities, the TU Dortmund and the Ruhr-University Bochum. The different institutions have a longstanding expertise in the various research areas covered by the field of Chemical Biology with excellent research facilities in the participating institutions and access to expert centres in NMR technology and Medicinal Proteomics.

The teaching program held in English accompanies the experimental work for the Ph.D. thesis, which is carried out in one of the departments participating in the program. Further details about the course program are available in the section curriculum. Nevertheless, timelines in meeting the program requirements will allow completion of this program in three years.
