The Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics (MPI-IE) in Freiburg is an interdisciplinary research institution that conducts basic research in two key areas of modern biology. Immunobiology is concerned with the ways multicellular organisms defend themselves against pathogens. Scientists of the institute study the evolutionary origins and the development of lymphoid organs and immune effector cells, the function of antigen receptors, and the genetic basis of host-pathogen interactions. This information underpins efforts to better diagnose and treat immunodeficiency, inflammatory diseases and tumors. Epigenetics is the study of inheritable traits that are not caused by changes in the underlying DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms are crucial for the organization and utilization of our genetic information. Since the susceptibility to diseases can be promoted by epigenetic dysfunction, epigenetic research has far-reaching implications for diagnosis and therapy of human disease. The MPI-IE with its more than 300 employees currently hosts 13 research groups, which are supported by state-of-the-art scientific facilities. For the training of young scientists, we offer an international PhD program, the International Max Planck Research School for Molecular and Cellular Biology (IMPRS-IEM).

🤩To be honest this is really a massive and up-to-date resource of knowledge on epigenetics. #MOOC on Epigenetics by Germano Cecere from the Institut Pasteur. In this course you can learn all relevant basic knowledge of what is considered epigenetics and you can increase our knowledge of genetics, heredity and relationships with diseases. The presenting scientists are really top-notch and a few sessions are also presented by members of the MPI-IE such as Ayele Argaw Denboba and Nicola Iovino 👍 Have a look and enroll today! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
🧬Unlock the World of Epigenetics – Enroll in Our MOOC Today! 👉 https://lnkd.in/ebp-nyBg 🔬 Epigenetics has transformed our understanding of genetics, heredity, and their connection to diseases. It introduces a new form of hereditary information that is passed along with DNA in every cell of our body and can be inherited by future generations. This information plays a key role in explaining how multicellular organisms, despite having identical DNA, can develop and maintain a wide variety of cell types. Furthermore, epigenetics shows how our lifestyle choices and environmental factors can impact the health and well-being of future generations. 👨🔬 Led by Germano Cecere, head of the "Mechanisms of Epigenetic Inheritance" team at the Institut Pasteur Institut Pasteur, France Université Numérique, Pasteur Network, Clémentine Schilte, Leonardo ALVAREZ, Hervé Waxin, Stefaniia Ivashchenko, PhD #Epigenetics #Genetics #Heredity #HealthScience #DNA #MOOC #LifelongLearning #ScienceEducation #Biotech #PublicHealth #MOOC #Biology #Education #MOOCPasteur #onlinecourse
Max Planck-Weizmann Postdoc Program 😎 The Max Planck Society and the Weizmann Institute of Science have joined forces to offer an exceptional Postdoc program that promotes scientific collaboration and fosters interdisciplinary research. The four-year program, with an equal distribution of time between Max Planck and Weizmann, gives excellent candidates to work with leading scientists at both institutions. Do you have an exciting research topic or project idea that wants and need collaborations from both sides? Then check out the program page to learn more about the initiative, the participating Max Planck Institutes and the generous funding. Application deadline: 5 December 2024. https://lnkd.in/e7NubR4A
