European Union funds research into the adaptability of tissues
Two million euros for research into the adaptability of tissues: Dr. Peter Walentek, head of a Heisenberg Research Group and member of the CRC 1453 as well as of CIBSS has been awarded a prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant. As announced by the European Commission on December 3, the MAGIX project will be funded for five years starting in mid-2025. Walentek and his team of researchers will investigate why some tissues are so adaptable and which mechanisms cause this adaptability to fail in diseases. In particular, the scientists are investigating the function of mucociliary tissues, which play various important roles in the body, be it in the lungs, the female reproductive tract or the intestine.
