Max Planck Institute for Immunobiology and Epigenetics

The Max Planck Institute for Immunobiology and Epigenetics is a research center in Germany dedicated to studying how the immune system and genetic material (DNA) influence health and disease. Scientists here explore how immune cells develop, communicate, and sometimes malfunction, leading to conditions like infections, autoimmune diseases, or cancer. They also investigate how epigenetics—the chemical changes that regulate gene activity—affects immune responses. Their goal is to deepen understanding of immune mechanisms and develop new treatments for diseases, advancing both basic science and medical innovation.
