Purpose
With the overall aim of catalysing Danish fundamental research impacting better health through knowledge, the purpose of the ‘Hallas-Møller Ascending Investigator – Bioscience and Basic Biomedicine’ grant is to support the continued development of excellent research leaders and promote and consolidate accomplished associate professors who propose to undertake novel and ambitious projects that will bring new and important insight into life and health. To support international recruitment at this career stage, extra funding and time can be allocated for relocation to Denmark, depending on the level of seniority and relocation needs
Areas of support
The overall goal is to support fundamental research in bioscience and basic biomedicine relevant for understanding the human organism and/or basal mechanisms underlying health and disease. The research fields include, but are not limited to: molecular biology, cell biology, bioinformatics, modelling of biological systems, genetics, microbiology, pharmacology, experimental physiology, biophysics, biochemistry, biology, and biostatistics etc. The research will typically be carried out in animals, cellular or subcellular model systems, or in silico.
