Universität Bonn LIMES Institut

The Life & Medical Sciences Institute (LIMES) is a center of excellence for both basic research and higher education in Life Sciences and Biomedicine at the University of Bonn. It provides a framework for cutting-edge multidisciplinary research and offers young scientists early independence and responsibility.
A common scientific focus of the LIMES Institute is to study metabolism and immunity and their cross-regulation in health and disease.
The LIMES research groups provide major research expertise in Chemical Biology, Medicinal Chemistry, Development, Genetics, Cell and Immune Biology, Membrane Biology and Lipid Biochemistry. They co-operate in a number of interdisciplinary research initiatives funded by the German Research Foundation DFG and other institutions.
