Fritz Thyssen Foundation
Expire le 31 janvier 2025
In accordance with one of the desires of the donors, special attention is devoted by the foundation institutions to medical research. At present the foundation is focusing its support on the field of “Molecular causes in the development of illnesses”. This programme supports molecular biological studies of illnesses whose development is based on genetic defects or with which gene variants contribute to the development of complex illnesses.
The funding programme is aimed in particular at individuals who:
- have a Ph.D. and relevant experience in the priority field of research
- are still at the start of their scholarly career with two to four years’ experience in post-doctoral research and would like to develop their scientific profile with the support of the Foundation
- already head an independent research working group of their own or would like to set up their own working group with the support of the Foundation
