Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology IMEThanks to their fantastic properties and abilities, insects colonize almost all habitats on earth. In the future, we humans can also benefit from the many survival strategies they have developed for this purpose. Under the direction of Prof. Andreas Vilcinskas, a globally unique center for the development of bioresources for use in medicine, plant protection and the food industry is being established in Giessen.
