Research

IMB research spans developmental biology, biochemistry, cell biology, and computational biology, with a focus on understanding how molecules and macromolecular complexes drive cellular function and organismal development. By integrating experimental and computational approaches, IMB researchers uncover the principles governing intracellular transport, molecular signaling, and organ formation. Their work has broad implications for human health, biotechnology, and evolutionary biology. With a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration, IMB fosters an innovative environment for discovery, training the next generation of scientists in molecular genetics and advanced imaging techniques. Through these efforts, IMB continues to advance our understanding of life's molecular foundations and their applications in medicine and beyond.
