Thrilled to be one of the ERC StG awardees this year! It will allow my team to further delve into the puzzle of what regulates the fate of RNA Polymerase II during early elongation: will it terminate early, or elongate happily ever after?

Rounding up 2024:
This year, we (Amber) published a nice graphical review with FEBS. I got the ERC StG to start to understand why cells delay abscission, with an evolutionary perspective. 2 new people are starting in the lab next week on this project! (1/n)

Excited to be awarded an ERC STG to continue our work on sex differences in medulloblastoma. Also happy that the ERC was also awarded to two other great people at DKFZ and my grad school roommate Kimberly Siletti at the UMCU!
Three DKFZ-researchers have each been awarded a Starting Grant from the @erc.europa.eu this year. Daniel Kirschenbaum, Lena Kutscher and Michael Scherer impressed the ERC with their innovative research approaches to fundamental questions in cancer medicine. Congratulations! 👏 #ERCStG

Triple ERC Success at the German Cancer Research Center
Three researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have each been awarded a Starting Grant from the European Research Council (ERC) this year. Daniel Kirschenbaum, Lena Kutscher, and Michael Scherer impressed the ERC with their innovative research approaches to fundamental questions in cancer medicine. With the funding, they plan to investigate why certain brain tumors occur more frequently in boys than in girls, how brain tumors suppress the immune system, and which epigenetic characteristics make cancer cells resistant to drugs.
