How do cells form tissues? Info booth Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics

Get to know the Dresden Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) at this info booth and take a quiz! 500 curiosity-driven scientists from over 50 countries have one research mission: How do cells form tissues? Our basic research programs span multiple scales of magnitude, from molecular assemblies to organelles, cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. We are looking forward meeting you!

Mathematics for biology and fun!

Come check out four amazing aspects of mathematics at MPI-CBG. Capture the essence of shape with persistent homology. Play mini-chess against our matchbox model of AI – a simple machine that learns from every game it plays! Interact with 3d printed shapes from computed algebraic surfaces. Or peer into infinite variety and self-similar pattern with fractals.

Proteins: come and explore nature’s LEGO box

Visit our station to learn all about proteins, the power tools in the smallest factory in the world: the cell. Proteins are much like LEGO; they are all made from only 20 different bricks, but they have all sorts of shapes and functions. But, compared to LEGO, proteins are tiny, with an average diameter of 0.0000005 meters! Even though they are too small to be seen, we show you how to find and isolate proteins yourself and let you test their function and strength in exciting experiments!

Little researchers and small fruit flies

Want to work like a scientist in a white coat and gloves? No problem—we’ve got everything you need. Pipette liquids yourself, observe fruit flies under the microscope, and estimate how many flies are in a test tube.
