Advanced infrastructure for a research-focused life sciences campus: the BioCenters I and II are located close to other important pillars of the natural and life sciences in Mainz, such as the Institute of Molecular Biology gGmbH (IMB), the Institute of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences, the JGU Department of Chemistry, and the Physics Institutes of Mainz University. Two Max Planck Institutes and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz complete the life sciences campus quarter. Short walking distances between all these institutions support close cooperation between the disciplines.

At the Faculty of Biology, I benefit from the structured doctoral programs with funding and an international focus. With a doctorate, I have the opportunity to pursue a career in science and can aim for a Postdoctoral Teaching Qualification (Habilitation). A constantly growing science:
With the core research areas, the faculty strengthens its broad network and its resources for new innovative fields of research. The research units combine cross-faculty expertise with shared visions for the future.
Our core research areas are funded by the Rhineland-Palatinate Research Initiative.
SusInnoScience is a cutting-edge research area at JGU Mainz.
The faculty currently has two Research Training Groups and two Coordinated Research Centers funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The DFG-Research Training Groups focus on the qualification of doctoral students within the framework of thematically focused research programs and structured qualification concepts with an interdisciplinary orientation. In the DFG Coordinated Research Centers, scientists cooperate within the framework of interdisciplinary research programs and carry out challenging, innovative and long-term research projects.
