Institute

Institute of Bio- and Geosciences (IBG)

The starting point for future developments is interdisciplinary research on biological systems and biogeosystems in science and engineering. To this end, Forschungszentrum Jülich consolidates its expertise in biotechnology, bioinformatics, plant sciences, and agrosphere research.

Research topics

Biotechnology

IBG researchers explore innovative technologies for developing enzymes, production strains, and bioprocesses.

Bioinformatics

Researchers at IBG study biological processes and functions to enhance their utility for human applications.

Plant and Crop Sciences

IBG researchers investigate plant growth and strategies for sustainably boosting crop yields.

Biogeochemical Systems

IBG scientists employ simulations in both laboratory settings and field research to study hydrological and biogeochemical processes within terrestrial systems.
