Millions in funding for research into new mechanisms of translation regulation

The CHAPEROME project, now awarded an ERC Synergy Grant, aims to uncover how molecular folding helpers – known as chaperones – work together with the translation machinery to keep cells functional and adaptable.   Of the 712 proposals submitted for this ERC Synergy Grant call, only 66 projects were selected

Teamwork in the inner ear: our sense of hearing relies on the organised grouping of proteins

For the first time, researchers at the Göttingen Campus have succeeded in examining the tiny synapses in the inner ear — the contact points between hair cells and auditory nerve cells — at a molecular level. They demonstrated that ion channels and other essential hearing proteins are organised in specific
