The Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) is a biomedical research center, funded by the pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim, and by national and European research grants. The institute is located on the Campus Vienna Biocenter (VBC). The IMP employs around 250 people from 36 nations. The IMP's conducts research in the molecular life sciences. Research results are published in peer-reviewed journals. ==Research areas== Research at the IMP is organised into four themes: life at the molecular and cellular levels, information processing and storage in neural circuits, mechanisms of organismal development and disease, and interdisciplinary approaches that bring ideas and methods from other fields to bear on biological questions. The common goal in all of these areas is to elucidate the mechanisms and principles that underlie complex biological processes. The IMP is organized into 17 independent research groups, headed by four senior scientists, twelve junior group leaders, and one IMP fellow. The groups focus on the following topics: *Neural circuits in Drosophila (Barry Dickson) *Auditory perception and memory in the neocortex (Simon Rumpel) *Spatio-temporal specificity of miRNA function (Luisa Cochella) *Stem Cell Commitment in Hematopoiesis (Meinrad Busslinger) *Circuit mechanics of emotions in the limbic system (Wulf Haubensak ) *Symmetry breaking during cell polarization (Carrie Cowan) *Learning and memory in Drosophila (Krystyna Keleman) *The Molecular Basis of Migration (David Keays) *Molecular Machines (Thomas Marlovits) *Molecular Mechanisms of Protein Quality Control (Tim Clausen) *Molecular Mechanisms of Antibody Diversification (Rushad Pavri) *Systems biology of regulatory motifs and networks (Alexander Stark) *Molecular Mechanisms of Kinetochore Function (Stefan Westermann) *Mitosis and chromosome biology (Jan-Michael Peters) *The neural basis of locomotor visual guidance in Drosophila (Andrew Straw) *Finding and probing cancer drug targets using advanced in-vivo RNAi (Johannes Zuber) *The neural basis of behavior (Manuel Zimmer) *Multi-scale understanding of biological function (Alipasha Vaziri) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Research Institute of Molecular Pathology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
