The Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science is a formally independent non-governmental and non-profit association of German research institutes. Founded in 1911 as the Kaiser Wilhelm Society,it was renamed to the Max Planck Society in 1948 in honor of its former president,theoretical physicist Max Planck. The society is funded by the federal and state governments of Germany.
The Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry,also known as the Karl-Friedrich Bonhoeffer Institute,was a research institute of the Max Planck Society,located in Göttingen,Germany. On January 1,2022,the institute merged with the Max Planck Institute for Experimental Medicine in Göttingen to form the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences.
The Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize,in short Leibniz Prize,is awarded by the German Research Foundation to "exceptional scientists and academics for their outstanding achievements in the field of research". Since 1986,up to ten prizes are awarded annually to individuals or research groups working at a research institution in Germany or at a German research institution abroad. It is considered the most important research award in Germany.
The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) is a biology research institute located in Dresden,Germany. It was founded in 1998 and was fully operational in 2001. More than twenty research groups work in molecular biology,cell biology,developmental biology,biophysics,and systems biology supported by various facilities.
The Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research was founded in 1969 and is one of the 82 Max Planck Institutes of the Max Planck Society. It is located on a campus in Stuttgart,together with the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems.
The Max Planck Institute of Biophysics is located in Frankfurt,Germany. It was founded as the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Biophysics in 1937,and moved into a new building in 2003. It is an institute of the Max Planck Society.
The Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces is located in Potsdam-Golm Science Park in Golm,Potsdam,Germany. It was founded in 1990 as a successor of the Institute for Physical Chemistry and for Organic Chemistry,both in Berlin-Adlershof,and for Polymer Chemistry in Teltow. In 1999,it transferred to newly constructed extension facilities in Golm. It is one of 80 institutes in the Max Planck Society (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft).
The Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg,Germany,is a facility of the Max Planck Society for basic medical research.

Hell (Chemistry).
The Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg,Germany is an interdisciplinary research institute that conducts basic research in modern immunobiology,developmental biology and epigenetics. It was founded in 1961 as the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and is one of 86 institutions of the Max Planck Society. Originally named the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology,it was renamed to its current name in 2010 as it widened its research thrusts to the study of epigenetics.
The Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology is a German research institute for molecular plant physiology,based in the Golm district of Potsdam,Brandenburg. Founded on 1 January 1994,the MPIMP focuses on the study of the dynamics of plant metabolism and how that relates to the entire plant system.
