Max Planck: Max Planck Society
built 785 days ago
Founded in 1990, the Max Planck Institute for Computer Science was the first Max Planck Institute inside the Max Planck Society devoted to Computer Science. More than 150 researchers, including more than 50 senior researchers holding a PhD, investigate basic research questions in the areas of computer algorithms, formal methods, bioinformatics, computer graphics, database and information systems, and machine learning. Where the Computer Science institute investigates the building blocks of computer science, the recently formed sister institute, the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, investigates the design, analysis, implementation and operation of complex software systems. Founded in 2004, the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems is dedicated to research in all areas related to the design, analysis and engineering of software systems. The institute is located in Kaiserslautern and Saarbrücken. Currently, the institute has leading research groups in programming languages, formal methods and verification, distributed/operating systems and networked systems.

For more than a half century the Max Planck Society has been an icon of outstanding basic research in Germany. The Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science is an independent, non-profit research organization that primarily promotes and supports research at its own institutes. Visual Numerics has long been a proud supporter of these research efforts which have been conducted using Visual Numerics’ software solutions. The Society uses PV-WAVE® Extreme Advantage to develop their LADIA software package. This has enabled them to conduct their analysis of the structure of materials much faster as compared to their known iterative techniques. In particular, they can analyze the 2D strain state of a material with improved accuracy.

The Max Planck Society does not have a central procedure or a central location for awarding postdoc positions. The selection decision is the responsibility of the separate Max Plank Institutes. Interested students are asked to contact the Max-Planck-Institute that works in the research area relevant to their academic profile.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Max Planck Society granted rights to patent applications based on the microRNA work of Dr. Thomas Tuschl, a leading scientist in early siRNA research and one of the founders of Alnylam. During his research efforts, Dr. Tuschl discovered more than 100 naturally occurring micro-RNAs that are present in mammalian cells. These microRNAs have the potential to be new drug targets or therapeutic products and are the subjects of the licensed patent applications.

The Max-Planck Society has publicly acknowledged its moral responsibility (in the absence of any preceding investigation) for the exploitation of the "euthanasia" murders to acquire the brains of the victims (37). The connection between Verschuer and Josef Mengele has been well known since it was first reported by Professor Benno Müller-Hill in 1984 (38). In the words of a German social scientist published over a decade ago, "In fact, through Verschuer the institute (Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Anthropology) was to become directly connected with the murderous 'experiments on humans' at Auschwitz. Even though this connection was never substantiated in a court of law, evidence accumulated over the years leaves little doubt (39)."
