Leaving Max Planck, staying connected.

Maybe you no longer on the MPI-IE campus here in Freiburg. But that doesn’t mean losing track of each other. If you are an MPI-IE alumnus or alumna yourself but no longer linked to the institute, then let’s change this. Please get in touch with us!

You researched or worked at the MPI of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg? We are very proud of our alumni and enjoy hearing about their careers and achievements and sharing these with current Institute staff and students in order to inspire their next steps. We would be delighted if you stay in touch with us and your fellow alumni via our alumni network.
