Prof. Dr. Marlene Bartos, member of the FRIAS directorate from 2015 until 2017 and professor at the Institute of Physiology I at the University of Freiburg, will receive a 2.5 million euro Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC).

The aim of the ERC’s Advanced Grant is to give established academics the opportunity to undertake high-risk research projects and to break new scientific ground.
