Both CIMED visiting professors receive ERC Advanced Grants – congratulations!
Visiting Professors Lauri Aaltonen and Patrick Cramer have both been awarded ERC Advanced grants. The ERC Advanced Grants are designed for established and world leading researchers who strive to pursue ground-breaking research with exceptional scientific ambition. The funding is up to 2.5 million Euros per grant and lasts up to five years.
Visiting Professor Lauri Aaltonen has been awarded an ERC Advanced grant for the MYCLASS research project, which focuses on development of new kinds of diagnostics and drug treatments for uterine myomas.
