Center for Molecular Biology (ZMBH)

Within the life science faculties of the University of Heidelberg, the ZMBH (Zentrum für Molekulare Biologie der Universität Heidelberg) is a center of excellence for both research and higher education in basic and biomedical molecular biology.

Our research aims at fundamental questions of molecular and cellular biology at the level of molecules, cells and organisms. We would like to understand the mechanistic principles of different stages in the life cycle of biological entities, addressing questions of biogenesis and development, stability and quality control as well as aging, degeneration and the molecular basis of disease of biological systems.

The ZMBH is a center for research and higher education in molecular biology and biomedicine. Our research aims at fundamental questions of molecular and cellular biology at the level of molecules, cells and organisms. Joint research interests resulted in the formation of the DKFZ-ZMBH-Alliance, a close collaboration of the ZMBH with the research program Cell and Tumor Biology of the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ).

As a leading research institution in the field of molecular biology, we regularly offer exciting career opportunities for scientists at different levels
