Max Planck Research Groups
The Max Planck Society continually supports up to three Independent Research Groups at our institute, each for a period of five to six years. Distinguished young scientists lead these groups, which operate outside of the departmental structure of the Institute.
The group led by
Dr. Marco Incarbone is interested in plant host-virus interactions and more specifically those occurring in plant stem cells and reproductive tissues.

The goal of the research group led by
Dr. Marion Clavel is to understand what are the conserved mechanisms deployed by plant viruses to shape a cellular environment conductive to replication of their genetic material and the matching plant pathways that protect host cell against virus-induced damage.
