Modern infrastructure for a research-focused life sciences campus: BioCenters I and II are located close to other important pillars of the natural and life sciences in Mainz, such as the Institute of Molecular Biology gGmbH (IMB), the Institute of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences, the JGU Department of Chemistry, and the Physics Institutes at Mainz University. The two Max Planck Institutes and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz complete the life sciences campus quarter. Short walking distances between all these institutions support close cooperation between the disciplines. <\/p>\nPress and Public Relations staff unit | JGU<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

With the research facilities of the institutes the faculty opens up new, innovative fields of research. The Faculty of Biology is made up of three institutes. Some of the iomE and iDN research groups are already housed in the new BioCenter I building, others, in part, also at the IMB. Since the end of 2020, some imP research groups have been located in BioCenter II, most of the other research groups relocated to BioZentrum II in summer of 2021. Planning for BioCenter III is currently under way, where the remaining iOME, iDN and iMP groups are expected to move in 2025. Our institutes are <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also on JGU campus are the ‘Institut f\u00fcr Biotechnologie und Wirkstoff-Forschung’ (IBWF)<\/a> and the Institute for Molecular Biology (IMB)<\/a>, a center of excellence in the life sciences founded in 2011, funded by the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation and the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The IMB focuses on innovative research fields of modern biology such as epigenetics and developmental biology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also close cooperation with the University Medical Center (FB04), the Department of Chemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Geography, and Geosciences (FB09), the Department of Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science (FB09) as well as the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPIP)<\/a> and the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry (MPIC)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n \n<\/jgu-base-logogriditem>\n\n\n\n \n<\/jgu-base-logogriditem>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-logogrid>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-tabsitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-tabs><\/div><\/div>\n<\/jgu-base-section>\n
