Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces

Description

The Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces studies nanostructures and microstructures like tiny apatite crystals in bones, membrane vesicles, pores used in fuel cells, and microcapsules for drug delivery. Researchers analyze these colloids and interfaces to understand their composition and function, with goals of replicating their behavior in new materials and vaccines, as well as identifying disease causes linked to membrane folding and cellular transport malfunctions.
