The Institute of Human Genetics of
The Institute of Human Genetics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München is a leading center for research and teaching in the field of human genetics. It is part of the Faculty of Biology and closely linked to other research institutions such as the Max Planck Institutes.
The main mission of the institute is to deepen the understanding of genetic mechanisms through research and teaching and to promote the application of genetic knowledge in medicine. Values such as interdisciplinary collaboration and commitment to the health of the population are paramount.
Although specific sustainability goals are not explicitly mentioned, the institute contributes to the long-term improvement of healthcare through its research and teaching. The interdisciplinary collaboration with other medical and scientific institutions promotes the exchange of knowledge and resources, which ultimately contributes to more sustainable health solutions.
The institute is part of a comprehensive network of research institutions and medical centers in Munich, which enables a close connection to practice and the clinical application of genetic research. The proximity to the Staatliche Naturwissenschaftliche Sammlungen Bayerns and the Botanischer Garten München-Nymphenburg offers additional opportunities for interdisciplinary research and education[1].
