Funding for Centre for Life Chemistry
Centre for Life Chemistry is led by Professor Ingela Lanekoff, and is one of the research environments selected in the Swedish Research Council's Excellence Initiative. Within the research environment, researchers will combine knowledge about the chemical mechanisms of life within individual fields in order to investigate, and understand, various aspects of what is described as the chemistry of life.
There will be seminars, workshops and courses for students as well as doctoral students at the centre. The idea is for the centre to function as a hub, where researchers with different backgrounds and expertise can find collaboration partners across the traditional subject boundaries.
In addition to Ingela Lanekoff, the initiators are prof. Sebastian Westenhoff and Prof. Máté Erdélyi at the Department of Chemistry-BMC, as well as Prof. Katja Petzold at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology.
