Successful application for research funding
The research group of Dr. Dagmar Wachten has submitted a successful application for the "Exploration Grants" program of the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation. The foundation supports junior group leaders, enabling them to test new ideas and research directions quickly and without bureaucracy. More information about the funding program
