International Max Planck Research School for Infectious Diseases and Immunology (IMPRS-IDI)

The International Max Planck Research School for Infectious Diseases and Immunology (IMPRS-IDI) provides a multidisciplinary approach to the study of the interaction of pathogens with their hosts. The research school is a collaboration between the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology and two universities (Humboldt University Berlin, Free University Berlin), the University Hospital Charité and other research institutes which offer outstanding scientific training awarding Ph.D. (Dr. rer. nat.) degrees.

The research school encourages independent research by students in different fields including

• viruses
• bacteria
• protozoa and parasites.

Different approaches such as molecular, cellular, and organismal biology as well as genetics, immunology and biochemistry are used to study the biodiversity of infection. The strength of the programme is the diversity of the labs involved and the wide array of state-of-the-art techniques provided.
