The International Institute of Molecular Mechanisms and Machines Polish Academy of Sciences

The International Institute of Molecular Mechanisms and Machines of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IMol PAN) is the youngest unit of the Academy. It was established in 2020 to lead the ReMedy project funded by the Foundation for Polish Science, to utilize its research potential, and to secure its further development and the overall development of Polish science. Established in cooperation with the Medical University of Göttingen in Germany, IMol PAN is the first institute created de novo (not reorganized) in Poland in the last 25 years.

The ReMedy program, which forms the foundation for IMol, focuses on researching adaptive cellular responses to stress and cellular regeneration mechanisms. The activities of IMol PAN and ReMedy will result in new treatment strategies and the development of solutions that will help us live safer and better lives.

The Warsaw unit conducts scientific research and provides education in the fields of biology, chemistry, medicine, biotechnology, bioinformatics, biophysics, pharmacology, and related disciplines. The unit has an international environment that is conducive to cooperation, research and development collaboration with the biotechnology industry, and the wide dissemination of its results. Research activities are conducted under the supervision of a Scientific Council composed of distinguished scientists from prestigious universities around the world, headed by Nobel Prize winner Prof. Phillip A. Sharp.

Sharing research ideas and subjecting them to constructive criticism by other scientists is particularly important in newly established institutes that still need to develop their identity. Seminars organized as part of the IMol Science Club series, open to scientists from Poland and abroad, play an important role in popularizing science.
