Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie

The Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) is a research institute in the Leibniz Association, focussing on proteins as basic structures of cellular organisms.

The Institute focuses on fundamental research in life sciences, with an interdisciplinary approach based on chemistry and biology.

The Institut für Wirkstofforschung was founded in 1977 by Peter Oehme, who also served as its first and only director, and had around 230 employees.

[15] After the reunification of Germany, scientific institutions underwent a period of readjustment to align those in the former east and west.

In May 2017, it was renamed back to "Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie" (Leibniz Research Institute for Molecular Pharmacology).
