Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch

The Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine is a major biomedical research institutewhich aims to translate discoveries from molecular research into applications to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of major human diseases.

The MDC has placed special emphasis on systems biology, and a major new program has been initiated by Nikolaus Rajewsky, the Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology (BIMSB).

The Rajewsky lab combines theoretical/computational and experimental methods to understand more about gene regulation in animals. Research teams are interdisciplinary, employing techniques from molecular biology and biochemistry on different model organisms and driving the analysis with tools and concepts from bioinformatics, statistics, and physics. A major focus is on post-transcriptional gene regulation by small RNAs (for example microRNAs) and RNA binding proteins.
