Famous scholars such as the biologist Matthias Jacob Schleiden (1804-1881) and the zoologist Zoologe Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) lived and worked in Jena. Today this tradition is still the benchmark for superior science practice and education at the Faculty of Biological Sciences.
The Faculty of Biological Sciences cooperates with other faculties of the Friedrich Schiller University and non-university research institutes of the Max Planck Society and the Leibniz Association in several coordinated research projects. These projects are part the Cluster of Excellence "Balance of the Microverse" funded by the German Research Foundation.
