Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry (www.mpibpc.mpg.de) is one of the 13 research institutes of Max Planck Society, which is a world-renowned fundamental science research institution of Germany. Under the MOU, the KRIBB and Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry will exchange researchers and conduct technology training as well as joint research with each other.
