Research on metastasis formation
The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved another new Collaborative Research Center/Transregio (SFB/TRR) at FAU, which also involves scientists from the Faculty of Sciences. The goal of SFB/TRR 305 “Striking a moving target: From mechanisms of metastatic organ colonisation to novel systemic therapies” is to understand the molecular mechanisms of metastasis development and, on this […]The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved another new Collaborative Research Center/Transregio (SFB/TRR) at FAU, which also involves scientists from the Faculty of Sciences.

ERC Consolidator Grant for molecular machines
Prof. Dr. Henry Dube, Chair of Organic Chemistry I, has received an ERC Consolidator Grant. The Consolidator Grants of the European Research Council (ERC) support excellent researchers who want to conduct groundbreaking research in Europe as “Principal Investigator”. Only about 13% of all applications lead to success. Switches for molecular machines Prof. Dr. Henry Dube […]

How do quanta cooperate?
The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved the Collaborative Research Center / Transregio 306 (TRR 306). The goal of the scientists is to collectively investigate the behavior of quantum systems. How do quanta cooperate? Starting in 2021, the researchers participating in TRR 306 ‘QuCoLiMa’ (Quantum Cooperativeness of Light and Matter) will be investigating the quantum […]

New Collaborative Research Center “CLINT” established
The German Research Foundation (DFG, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) established a new Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1452 “CLINT – Catalysis at Liquid Interfaces” at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg. Starting from January 2021, researchers in CLINT explore an entirely new concept in catalysis: They make use of the highly dynamic interface of supported liquid phases to develop new […]The German Research Foundation (DFG, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) established a new Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1452 “CLINT – Catalysis at Liquid Interfaces” at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg.

Identical evolution of isolated organisms
Palaeontologists at FAU and the University of Calgary in Canada have provided new proof of parallel evolution: conodonts, early vertebrates from the Permian period, adapted to new habitats in almost identical ways despite living in different geographical regions. The researchers were able to prove that this was the case using fossil teeth found in different […]

Light-controlled nanomachine controls catalysis
The vision of the future of miniaturisation has produced a series of synthetic molecular motors that are driven by a range of energy sources and can carry out various movements. A research group at FAU has now managed to control a catalysis reaction using a light-controlled motor. This takes us one step closer to realising […]
