The Max Planck Institute for Chemical EcologyHomepage of the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology is located on Beutenberg CampusBeutenberg Campus Institutions - Homepage Beutenberg Campus e.V. in Jena, Germany. It was founded in March 1996 and is one of 80 institutes of the Max Planck Society (Max Planck Gesellschaft).Max Planck Institutes - MPG Homepage Chemical ecology examines the role of chemical signals that mediate the interactions between plants, animals, and their environment, as well as the evolutionary and behavioral consequences of these interactions. The managing director of the institute is Jonathan Gershenzon.
About 175 scientists, among them many PhD candidates and students, do their research in five departments and further independent research groups.
