At the heart of scientific innovation, our interdisciplinary groups and the IMPRS Physics and Medicine at Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light and the Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin are working together to unravel the mysteries of the human body. Their interdisciplinary collaboration provides groundbreaking insights into the complex immune system. This extremely exciting research provides latest insights into the human immune system in order to jointly cure chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, Patrick O'Donovan TD, today announced a €14.6 million investment in 25 projects to support early career researchers under the SFI-IRC Pathway programme. The awards will enable postdoctoral researchers to develop their career pathway and transition to become independent research leaders. The funding, covering a four-year period, will provide additional support for a postgraduate student who will be primarily supervised by the awardee. Minister O’Donovan said: “This Pathway funding will help facilitate a defined journey from post-doctoral research to independent researcher. Bridging this gap is a challenging but critical milestone, and the research selected for investment will address key challenges and opportunities, ranging from new therapies for Parkinsons to the development of sustainable supercapacitors.” View the full list of projects at:https://lnkd.in/g9baSRuZ Irish Research Council Trinity College Dublin Dublin City University University College Dublin Maynooth University University College Cork Tyndall National Institute Technological University Dublin University of Limerick Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science NIBRT National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training SETU Research University of Galway Dundalk Institute of Technology Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI)

ICYMI: Coastal Carolina University was awarded a $640,000 grant from the South Carolina Research Authority to build a research commercialization and technology transfer capacity. The grant will develop infrastructure and expertise to help CCU faculty researchers take their ideas from the lab to the market with a primary focus on active research teams in the kinesiology and biomedical fields. ➡️ Read more: bit.ly/4iemQAd

We're happy to support the Biotech Research & Innovation Centre at MVA-member Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen securing a large EU grant for a new interdisciplinary programme with DTU - Technical University of Denmark.

🎆 Happy birthday Stiftelsen för strategisk forskning, SSF 🎆 Celebrating with dedicated featured articles in Framtidens Forskning Similar to personal independence, academic independence is contingent on the availability of means of support that allow you to leave the nest and follow your ambitions. With the research grants bestowed for my Ph.D within the SwedNess Research School first and for my postdoc in view of future European Spallation Source ERIC utilization after, SSF has laid the foundation for my entire career as a large-scale facility expert, allowing me to explore a variety of research topics, create new opportunities for the use of neutron-based experimental methods, and build bridges across disciplines. Thanks to SSF I could embark on an exciting new chapter, shifting from solid state condensed matter physics to soft condensed matter for climate change mitigation applications. Characterizing this type of materials presents challenges due to their complex, hierarchical structures, dynamic behavior, and lack of long-range order compared to crystalline solids. Investigation techniques must be capable of resolving multiple length scales, capturing temporal changes, and probing disordered structures effectively. Addressing these challenges requires a multi-disciplinary approach integrating advanced imaging, spectroscopy, scattering methods, and computational modeling, all of which is part of the project I am carrying out between the Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry (MMK) at Stockholm University and the PSI Paul Scherrer Institut. What the future holds is not for me to know, but I certainly embrace and enjoy the remarkable journey I am on today. #ResearchGrant #SoftMatter #NeutronScience #ESS #AcademicJourney #Nanocellulose

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) as has been announced as the first academic partner at The Northeast Science & Technology Center (NEST) in Kenilworth. The university plans to establish the NJIT @ NEST Center for Translational Research with the goal of expanding upon its track record of translating fundamental research into products and services that benefit humanity. Ranked as one of the nation’s top research universities (R1) by the Carnegie Classification and as a top 50 public university by U.S. News & World Report, NJIT is set to expand its presence into the NEST campus, occupying 25,000 square feet at building 15 NEST. The NJIT @ NEST Center for Translational Research will equip professors and students with a dedicated area to conduct groundbreaking research and accelerate the transformation of discoveries into tangible solutions for real-world problems.

At the end of May we will celebrate 10th anniversary of #MCB. On this occasion, we asked MCB employees to share thoughts and memories related to MCB. In the following days, we will share different perspectives on MCB past, present and future. Today, we are starting with short interview with Dominika Kwaśna, PhD - MSC ERA fellow and Postdoctoral researcher in Max Planck Research Group. After obtaining her PhD from the University of Dundee, Dominika joined the Max Planck group of dr hab. Sebastian Glatt to elucidate molecular details of the ancient protein modification so-called urmylation. Why do you believe MCB stands out among other research units? I think that MCB stands out from many institutions by employing researchers only for scientific positions and, at the same time, taking an active part in the academic society, collaborating closely with the university departments. How has MCB contributed to your academic/professional journey? After starting in MCB as a postdoctoral researcher, I was strongly encouraged and supported by my supervisor and MCB authorities to apply for European grants for researchers coming back to Poland from foreign institutions. My application was successful and I am sure that being awarded with ERA fellowship from Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions program will significantly contribute to my future academic career. What scientific challenges do you foresee for MCB in the coming years? I think that the biggest challenge will be to find a balance between expanding the scientific interests of MCB and building strength in the areas of its current expertise. #MałopolskaCentreOfBiotechnology #10thMCBanniversary Jagiellonian University
