The Friedrich Miescher Laboratory of the Max Planck Society (FML, former name "Friedrich Miescher Laboratory for Biological Working Groups in the Max Planck Society") was founded by the Max Planck Society (MPG) in 1969 in Tübingen founded in order to give young researchers in the field of biology the means and possibilities to set up their own independent research group.
The laboratory is named after the Swiss biologist Friedrich Miescher , who in Tübingen castle , the DNA discovered. It should not be confused with the Friedrich Miescher Institute (FMI) in Basel.
construction
Up to four working groups work at the Friedrich Miescher Laboratory in Tübingen, in the immediate vicinity of the Max Planck Institutes for Developmental Biology and Biological Cybernetics .
The research areas that have been and are being worked on at the FML extend across all areas of biology and include: a. Developmental biology , cell biology , neurobiology and now also bioinformatics .
The FML is headed by one of the directors of the neighboring Max Planck Institute. The current managing director is Nobel Prize winner Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard , who herself was group leader at the FML from 1981 to 1985.
