Where We Are
Where We Are
Our chem labs and offices are on the 2nd floor of building C of the LMU "High-Tech Campus" in Grosshadern, Munich (LMU Departments of Chemistry, Pharmacy and Biochemistry). Our bio labs are on the ground floor.

Public transport: take the U-Bahn (U6) to the Großhadern stop, then walk 7 minutes west along Würmtalstrasse. Here are links to a subway map of Munich and to the greater Munich public transport planner.
Car: Parking on campus is restricted to university staff. Here are the off-campus parking possibilities close by.
If you get lost, phone us or come to the ground floor of Building C where the campus security & information service has a reception desk ("Pforte").
Neighbouring Institutes
We are surrounded by excellent scientific and translational collaborators. The LMU University Hospital and several Applied Medical Research Institutes (DZNE, Helmholtz, WBZ...) are 5 minutes to the south (green buildings); the LMU Biology Department is 10 minutes' walk southwest; the Max-Planck Institute of Biochemistry is 15 minutes' walk southwest; and the IZB / Martinsried biotechnology hubs are 15 minutes west-south-west.
Outlook
The Grosshadern campus was opened in 2004 and continues to open a new building every 2 or 3 years. Recent developments include the ICEM Chemical Biology centre (Building L) and the BioSysM systems biology centre (Building K). This aerial picture from 2012 is already missing 4 of the research buildings, but the agricultural and open parklands to the north and west, with their open view to stunning summer sunsets, are still a Grosshadern classic.
