Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology Founded in 1996, the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology is based in Jena, Germany. The institute is dedicated to understanding chemical communication and ecological interactions among plants, insects, microbes, and their environments. It comprises five scientific departments—biochemistry, evolutionary neuroethology, insect symbiosis, natural product biosynthesis, and plant defense physiology—along with multiple independent research groups. Research topics include plant chemical defenses, insect olfactory behavior and neurobiology, insect-microbe symbiosis, and the biosynthesis of ecologically and pharmaceutically important natural products. The institute employs an interdisciplinary approach, integrating organic chemistry, biochemistry, ecology, entomology, genetics, and physiology to elucidate molecular, evolutionary, and behavioral mechanisms underlying chemical signaling in nature. Research spans from molecular biosynthetic pathways to ecological and evolutionary outcomes, including studies on insect odor perception, plant-insect-microbe interactions, and the effects of environmental change on insect chemical ecology. The institute offers advanced research infrastructure and supports young scientists through specialized programs, as well as providing scientific support services and a dedicated library and information service. It emphasizes diversity, inclusion, and international collaboration to foster a respectful and productive research environment.	Director/Board Member	31/12/2005
