Chica and Heinz Schaller Research Groups

[edit]

Since 2012 the Foundation funds Schaller Junior Research groups at the University of Heidelberg and DKFZ. Initially five groups were funded for a period of five years with the possibility of a two-year extension.

  • Cellular Polarity and Viral Infection - Steeve Boulant[18]
  • Neuropeptides - Valery Grinevich[19]
  • Proteostasis in Neurodegenerative Disease - Dr. Thomas Jahn[20]
  • Norovirus Research - Grant Hansman[21]
  • Mechanisms of Tumor Cell invasion - Björn Thews[22]

In Fall 2017 four new group leaders were selected by the interdisciplinary committee.

Chica and Heinz Schaller Endowed Chair

[edit]

Between 2002 and 2012 the Foundation Ralf Bartenschlager held the chair for Molecular Virology before being appointed full professor at the University of Heidelberg[23][24]
