New funding for ZMBH research group leaders
New funding for ZMBH research group leaders Prof. Dr. Nora Vögtle & Prof. Dr. Michael Knop from the Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) to develop new approaches for engineering the mitochondrial genome. As one of 19 teams in the Precision Mitochondria Programme, they will develop novel genetic engineering approaches to enable targeted interventions in the genome of mitochondria using yeast as a model system. Funded with £710,000 (€825,000) over three years.
Ernst Schering Prize 2026 awarded to Henrik Kaessmann
Prof. Dr Henrik Kaessmann has been selected to receive the 2026 Ernst Schering Prize for his pioneering research into the evolutionary origins and genetic regulation of organ development and organ function. The award, which comes with 50,000 euros in prize money, is presented by the Schering Stiftung and recognizes outstanding scientific achievements in biological, medical or chemical basic research. With his team at the Center for Molecular Biology of Heidelberg University (ZMBH), Prof. Kaessmann investigates the molecular and cellular origins and evolution of vertebrate organs. His systematic, cross-species analyses include jawless vertebrates as well as birds, reptiles and mammals – including humans.
