The Campus Neuherberg serves as the primary location for Helmholtz-Zentrum München, a leading research center dedicated to understanding and combating environmentally induced diseases. Spanning over 50 hectares north of Munich, it hosts interdisciplinary research programs focusing on the molecular mechanisms of common diseases such as diabetes, lung disorders, allergies, and cancer, with an emphasis on prevention, diagnosis, and therapy through advanced biomedical approaches.
Graduate programs and doctoral training occur through Helmholtz Graduate Schools, offering courses in advanced molecular biology, bioinformatics, structural biology, and translational research specific to the campus's state-of-the-art facilities like high-throughput screening, imaging centers, and animal models. Collaborative PhD projects integrate experimental and computational methods, preparing researchers for careers in biomedicine.
