Congratulations to Eva Hoffmann
The board of the Danish National Research Foundation has decided to support the establishment of two new DNRF Centers of Excellence at ICMM.
The Centers of Excellence will conduct groundbreaking and innovative research that will help maintain Denmark’s position as one of the world’s leading research countries.
For Eva Hoffmann's new center "Center for Fertility and Inheritance (CFI)" the foundation is prepared to grant up to 69,774,700 DKK.
Center for Fertility and Inheritance (CFI) will “explore directly in our germline and epigenetic regulation and to what extent their dysregulation contributes towards infertility and congenital disorders. The unique and complementary expertise of the PIs and our extensive biobanks and access to material, allow us to create a unique center that both facilitates excellence in interdisciplinary research and facilitates development of the next-generation of scientists. We will focus on the following asoects:
- The full spectrum of (epi)genome changes
- The mechanisms that cause genomic changes
- The robustness of the molecular mechanisms"
The PIs in the center will be Eva Hoffmann, Kristian Almstrup, Kathleen Stewart-Morgan, Daniel Messerschmidt, Mads Lerdrup, Tom Miller and Andrew Blackford from ICMM, and Mads Frost Bertelsen, Christina Hvilsom from Copenhagen ZOO.
The center is expected to open in 2025.
