Former Faculty
Faculty associated with our IMPRS but not recruiting students through the program are listed here
Professor Elisa Izaurralde, formerly Scientific Director of the Department of Biochemistry at the MPI for Developmental Biology and speaker of the IMPRS, passed away on 30 April 2018. We mourn the loss of our colleague and mentor.
