Max Planck Institute
Will open a location in Florida later in 2009. Based in Germany, Max Planck is opening a research branch next to Scripps Florida. "The Max Planck Florida Institute plans to direct its scientific activities on bioimaging, using the most advanced techniques for visualizing microscopic molecular processes. Bioimaging provides an indispensable opportunity to translate discoveries of basic research into clinical and patient-oriented application, improving health and creating wealth through a stronger biotechnology industry.
The Max Planck Florida Institute will have the potential to unite techniques of advanced optical microscopy, magnetic resource imaging, and imaging sciences to study the structure, dynamics and function of molecules and tissues. This approach will contribute to solve challenging problems in biology, bioengineering and medicine.
Through generous grants from the State of Florida and Palm Beach County, the Max Planck Florida Institute will be located next to Scripps Florida on the MacArthur campus at FAU Jupiter. Over the next seven years, the Max Planck Florida Institute will create a minimum of 135 jobs. The Max Planck Florida Institute will begin scientific operations in Spring 2009 in temporary space on the MacArthur campus at FAU Jupiter. In the meantime, the Max Planck Florida Institute will begin construction of its permanent facility"
