Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research

Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research

Our goal is to use state-of-the-art scientific approaches to understand the molecular basis of the development, function and disease of the heart, the vascular system and the lung but also of other organ systems. The results of our knowledge-driven basic research provide the bases for innovative, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in medicine. To this end, we collaborate with other scientists in various national and international research consortia. Our currently about 400 employees are recruited from all over the world, thus creating an inspiring international working atmosphere.

History of the Institute

History of the Institute

The foundation of the Max-Planck-Institute for Heart and Lung Research was brought about by the actions of two men: Professor Franz Groedel (1881–1951) and William G. Kerckhoff (1856–1929). Franz Groedel was one of the first German cardiologists who set up practice in Bad Nauheim, the world-famous spa town for the treatment of heart diseases at that time.
