Faculty Research Domains

A number of current research objectives are concentrated in three major research domains. One of these is intervowen into the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig. Our Faculty's overall goals are set out in the Future Concept (Zukunftskonzept).

Cluster Biodiversity, Ecology and Evolution

The Cluster investigates how biodiversity develops, and how its dynamics and expansion affect ecosystems.

Center of Molecular Interactions in Biomedicine and Biotechnology

The faculty based Center investigates how molecules, cells and cell structures interact with each other.
