Basic Research in Plant Molecular Biology
Research at the GMI is curiosity driven and covers many aspects of modern biology, including epigenetics, population genetics, chromosome biology, developmental biology, signal transduction, and biotrophy. Research is carried out by independent research groups, led either by senior group leaders with renewable contracts, or junior group leaders with temporary (5+3 years) appointments. All groups enjoy substantial core funding, as well as external grants (the Vienna BioCenter success rate with ERC grant applications is over 60%).
