Vasily Zaburdaev (MPI-PKS), Simon Alberti (MPI-CBG), Teymuras Kurzchalia (MPI-CBG) and Jochen Guck (BIOTEC, TU Dresden) receive a 1.3 million Euro grant from the Volkswagen Foundation (VolkswagenStiftung). The joint project focuses on the underlying biological, chemical, and physical mechanisms of cell dormancy - when cells enter into a kind of stand-by mode.

Congratulations!

This grant is part of the funding initiative "Life? – A fresh scientific approach to the basic principles of life” of the Volkswagen Foundation, which supports outstanding projects at the interface between natural and life sciences investigating the principles of life.
