Through academic, clinical, and industry partnerships, as well as global networks, scientists strive to translate biological discoveries into solutions for a healthy society. These solutions will help detect earliest deviations from health in our cells, to stop the progression of diseases before they can cause major damage to the body, to personalize treatment, and ultimately prevent diseases. 

First founded in 1992, the Max Delbrück Center today inspires and nurtures a diverse talent pool of 1,800 people from over 70 countries, among them 27 ERC grant winners. Every day, people from completely different backgrounds come together at the Max Delbrück Center to create something new.

Frontier research

The Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association aims to transform tomorrow’s medicine through our discoveries of today. Pioneering a systems level approach and technological advances, scientists at locations in Berlin-Buch, Berlin-Mitte, Heidelberg and Mannheim, decipher shared mechanisms of complex diseases.
