Right on time at 5 p.m., the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG) opened its doors for visitors on July 26th, 2026, for the Dresden Science Night. Until midnight, 700 visitors came to see a packed program full of science! Despite the hot temperatures that night, over 100 volunteers at MPI-CBG and the neighboring Center for Systems Biology (CSBD) gave everything to present a very broad range of topics. From miniature organ models to research with animals to mathematics, biophysics, proteins, molecules, and molecular glue, we had something to offer visitors of all ages.

With its new slogan, “Wo Neugier Wissen schafft" (Where curiosity creates knowledge), and a refreshed design, the Dresden Science Night offered over 800 program items all over Dresden.

Thank you to all volunteers and to our curious visitors!
