Improve knowledge on the processes that drive the dynamics and evolution of marine and coastal systems, aimed at a proper use and management of these environments 

Understanding oceans dynamics

Coastal and ocean observations and modelling

The scientific focus of the IMPS relates to basic studies in the field of neuropsychobiology and behavioral medicine on learning and memory processes and information processing in the brain, especially in the areas of pain, addiction, psychotraumatology and across the lifespan (longitudinal cohort studies). At the institute, we also work with digital survey methods such as smartphone and tablet-based apps and virtual reality and are concerned with the evaluation of large longitudinal data sets from cohort studies.

The recent research projects of the team have been focused on pharmaceutical application of marine natural products. The group explores the metabolic diversity of cyanobacteria in search for compounds, mainly oligopeptides, of anticancer and antiviral activities. In a wide collaboration with other partners, the possible mechanism of cyanopeptides action, the alternativie methods of production as well as the behaviour under physiological conditions are studied.
