Foundations of success

Founded in 1983, the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research began its research operations in 1984, at that time still in rooms at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. Seven interviewees, who played a key role in shaping the Institute, talk about the challenges of the early days. more

The institute with six research groups under the leadership of six directors is one of the internationally leading research centres in the field of polymer science. more

How artificial cells are synthesised

Dr. Lucas Caire da Silva and Prof. Dr. Katharina Landfester, together with other scientists, have managed to recreate an artificial cell in such a way that individual compartments fulfil the functions of a biological cell. more
