At IMB, you will receive excellent scientific & practical training in molecular biology while conducting cutting-edge research in an interdisciplinary & international scientific community. You will work in one of our research groups, which offer projects on:
- Ageing, Resilience & Disease
- RNA Biology
- DNA Repair & Genome Stability
- Chromatin Regulation & Epigenetics
- Computational & Systems Biology
- Proteostasis & Phase Separation
“My Erasmus internship at IMB was a truly transformative experience. I was amazed by the dynamic research environment and the openness of the scientific community. The hands-on training and mentorship I received helped me grow both professionally and personally. IMB not only strengthened my research skills but also gave me the confidence to pursue a future in science."
(Christina, Erasmus+ fellow in Wittmann group, 2025)
Working on these projects, you will acquire excellent practical skills and hands-on training from leading scientists in techniques such as CRISPR/Cas genome editing, next-generation sequencing (NGS) and modeling of gene networks. In addition, you will have the opportunity to attend lectures and seminars by scientists who are leaders in their field, and receive training in valuable professional skills, e.g. presentation skills. You will also be integrated in our lively and international research community, and will network with local PhD students and postdocs at our social events. Read more about what we offer.
