End of March 2022, the Senate of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) established the Priority Programme “Code𝛘 – Chitin, chitosan and chito-oligosaccharides and their interaction with proteins of the extracellular matrix and cellular signaling” (SPP 2416)”. This programme is designed to run for six years, and the present call invites proposals from researchers working in this field to join for the first three-years funding period.
Coordinator: Prof. Dr. Hans Merzendorfer, Dept. of Chemistry-Biology, University of Siegen
