NCCR Molecular Systems Engineering
Seit Mitte 2014 unterstützt der Schweizerische Nationalfonds den „NCCR Molecular Systems Engineering“. An führenden Universitäten und Instituten forschen 29 Gruppen aus den Disziplinen Chemie, Physik, Ingenieurwesen, Biologie und Bioinformatik mit dem gemeinsamen Ziel, künftige Herausforderungen besser meistern zu können. Dazu gehören neue Anwendungen in der medizinischen Diagnose, Therapie und Behandlung sowie in der Produktion von chemischen Substanzen. Mehr online (www.nccr-mse.ch).
