Opelzoo

Since 2014, there has been a close collaboration in research and teaching between the Department of Biosciences and the Opel Zoo through the Opel Zoo Foundation Professorship in Zoo Animal Biology. The research focuses on areas such as animal behavior (video analysis using deep learning methods), bioacoustics, microbiome research, and environmental psychology.

Libraries

The Johann Christian Senckenberg University Library was formed on January 1st 2005 by merging the City and University Library Frankfurt am Main (established 1484) and the Senckenberg Library (founded 1763). Among other things, it is in charge of the Special Interest Collection Biology of the German Research Foundation. The latter can also be accessed via the Virtual Specialised Biology Library

The Natural Sciences Library (BNat) is, e.g., for the literature provision of the biological sciences.

It is located in the Riedberg Campus in the Otto Stern Centre.

BiK-F

The LOEWE Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre (BiK-F), which was founded in 2008 as a joint venture of the Senckenberg Society for Nature Research and the ¿´Æ¬Èí¼þ in Frankfurt am Main, has the objective of performing internationally outstanding research in the field of interactions between organismic biodiversity and climate.

With innovative research approaches and using a broad spectrum of state-of-the-art methods - from satellite-assisted remote sensing of the climate, area and ecosystem reactions up to molecular genetics and mass spectrometry - past and current events and processes are documented and analysed in order to develop reliable projections and bases for future decisions based on those methods.

Botanical Garden

The Botanical Garden is operated by the city of Frankfurt.

Close scientific co-operations with work groups of this Faculty and the Botanical Garden have existed since the foundation of the university.

CEF

Cluster of Excellence Frankfurt - Molecular Complexes

The Cluster of Excellence „Macromolecular Complexes“ at the ¿´Æ¬Èí¼þ Frankfurt (CEF) was established in November 2006.

Research at the CEF aims at understanding macromolecular complexes, in particular the molecular mechanisms and functional consequences underlying the interactions of biological macromolecules in the cell, or in the cell membrane.

Palm Garden

The Palm Garden was founded in 1868 and has been an integral part of the cityscape ever since.

Since the foundation of the university, there have been scientific and teaching co-operations with work groups of the Faculty of Biological Sciences.

FCC - Frankfurt Conservation Center  

The Frankfurt Conservation Center (FCC) is a center for global nature and species conservation based in Frankfurt. The aim of the FCC is to bring nature conservation stakeholders from practice and science closer together and to promote the development of interdisciplinary solutions. A total of 10 institutions are currently involved in the FCC, with the ¿´Æ¬Èí¼þ Frankfurt (represented by the Faculty of Biosciences) as one of three founding members. The Faculty of Biosciences is in charge of scientific nature conservation research and the training of young nature conservation experts. The Frankfurt Conservation Center gGmbH was officially founded at the end of 2020 by the Frankfurt Zoological Society, the ¿´Æ¬Èí¼þ Frankfurt and the Senckenberg Society for Nature Research. First joint projects have already been implemented, such as the  und the . A new FCC building at the east entrance the Frankfurt Zoo is currently being planned.

The ¿´Æ¬Èí¼þ is a founding member of the network BioFrankfurt – the Network for Biodiversity e.V.. It was established in 2004 and has been a registered association since 2014. In total, 13 institutions currently belong to the network. Together, they have set themselves the goal of raising media and public awareness of the importance of biodiversity and its conservation, of pooling the knowledge and experience of the individual institutions, and of positioning the commitment in the Frankfurt region in the areas of research, conservation and education more publicly.


The representative and contact person for the ¿´Æ¬Èí¼þ is Prof. Dr. Meike Piepenbring.

Institute of Apiculture

The Senckenberg Society for Nature Research has a high reputation in German and international biodiversity research. The Senckenberg Society runs a Nature Museum in Frankfurt, which is one of the largest in Europe and, with its extensive collections and exhibitions, serves to transfer knowledge to the general public.

There is close cooperation between the department of Didactics of Biological Sciences of the ¿´Æ¬Èí¼þ and the Department of Education and Communication of the museum. This extracurricular place of learning is regularly integrated into the courses for student teachers. Furthermore, new tour concepts have been developed and established by this cooperation (e.g. Virtual Tours, tours for children from Special Schools). Accompanying Visitor Studies provide current research results on the effects of exhibition elements and of guided tours on various visiting groups.

Institute of Apiculture

The Institute of Apiculture acts as an interface between basic university research and practical beekeeping. The institute is affiliated to two locations. In Oberursel there are laboratories, offices, a workshop and the institute garden with several bee colonies and the bee house for the scientists and beekeepers of the institute. University internships, university courses, school tours and conferences are held there. The laboratories have S1 research standards for cell culture, histology, electrophysiology and molecular biology. In the Biologicum on/at? the Riedberg campus, cell physiology techniques in particular are applied and cooperation with the other working groups in the Department of Biology is promoted. A modern, well-equipped course room is available for teaching of the Master's courses.
