The Max-Planck Institute of Immunobiology (MPI-IB) is an international and interdisciplinary research institution that conducts basic research in key areas of modern biology. At the MPI-IB, molecular immunologists, developmental geneticists, cell biologists and biochemists have been brought together to investigate the generation and function of the immune system, development of vertebrate embryos, cell signalling and the regulation of gene expression. State-of-the-art technologies and model organisms are used to unravel the mechanisms underlying these biological processes.

Research at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Science (MPI CBS) revolves around human cognitive abilities and cerebral processes, with a focus on language, music, and action. Studies look into the perception of language; music; actions (and their outcome); the planning and generation of language and activity; and the interaction between, and common functional principles of, generation and perception in various cognitive fields.

Julius Wess became Scientific Member and Director of the Max-Planck-Institut für Physik in 1990. In 1995, he served as Managing Director. He stayed connected with the Institute in multiple ways, even after his retirement in 2002. Julius Wess passed away on August 8, 2007 in Hamburg. The Max-Planck-Institut für Physik is greatly indebted to Julius Wess for his commitment. Julius Wess will be remembered as a unique scientist and great, warmhearted colleague.
