Former IMPRS Faculty Members
The group leaders listed below are former members of our IMPRS faculty. They were affiliated to the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology (MPI-MP) or the University of Potsdam (UP). They have moved on to new positions at other institutions or have retired.
Please note: These scientists are no longer available as supervisors for PhD projects in our IMPRS. If you are interested in joining their labs for a PhD, please contact them at their current institution.
If you are planning to apply for the IMPRS-PMPG, please return to IMPRS Faculty (active) to inform yourself about our current faculty and their availability for supervising PhD projects.
