RMU successful in the Cluster4Future competition
Scientists from Goethe University Frankfurt, Technical University of Darmstadt and the Fraunhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology (IME) aim at developing active molecules for selective intervention and thus new therapeutic options in the regional network PROXIDRUGS. The project was selected by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research as one of 16 out of 137 proposals submitted. The six-month conception phase is being funded with 250,000 euros.
