Interdisciplinary research at the IPB, a non-university research institution of the Leibniz Association at the Weinberg Campus of the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, aims to understand the bio/chemical basis of plant resilience and performance in climate change. The IPB offers excellent research facilities and state-of-the-art infrastructure to investigate the chemical diversity, biochemical interactions, and biological roles of plant and fungal natural products, with an emphasis on specialized metabolites, signaling molecules and relevant molecular networks of functional gene and protein regulation (http://www.ipb-halle.de).
