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 our IMPRS, please return to IMPRS Faculty (active) to inform yourself about our current faculty and their availability for supervising PhD projects.
