5 ambitious objectives to strengthen our competitiveness and international visibility
Over the course of the project, we will focus on bringing together our four existing research focuses of Molecular Cell Biology, Neuroscience, Cardiovascular Medicine and Oncology under the new, innovative, cross-organ and cross-disease umbrella of 'metabolic plasticity'.
In the coming years, we aim to strengthen collaborative research activities and promote outstanding scientists at all career levels. In addition to networking and promoting talent, we place particular emphasis on deepening the integration of technology transfer to ensure that new scientific knowledge is rapidly made available to society. Taken together, these five key topics reflect our commitment to progress and excellence in science.
