The Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens

The Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens (MPUSP)  is an independent institute of the Max Planck Society. MPUSP was founded in 2018 by Emmanuelle Charpentier to strengthen fundamental research on pathogens (bacteria and viruses) causing diseases in humans. The institute is located on the Campus Charité Mitte in Berlin.
