Dresden researchers receive
ERC Synergy Grants

Professor Thomas Heine is part of the “2DPolyMembrane” project, which aims to use the money raised to develop ultra-thin membranes for greater energy efficiency in separation processes. They are intended to make separation processes in our daily lives better and more efficient, from drug development and purification, wastewater treatment to the separation of material transport in fuel cells.

Thomas Heine has been Professor of Theoretical Chemistry at TUD Dresden University of Technology and a scientist at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) since 2018. The team in Dresden will receive three million euros from the total funding amount.

Professor Daniel Stange is part of the “ClonEScape” research team, which aims to get to the bottom of the development and spread of tumors with the aim of providing new approaches for the prevention, detection and treatment of cancer at an early stage.

Daniel Stange is a physician and scientist at the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus Dresden (UKD), TUD’s Faculty of Medicine and the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT/UCC) in Dresden. The research team from Dresden will receive around EUR 1.5 million of the total funding.
