LMU physicist Friedhelm Serwane together with two international collaborators has been awarded an HFSP grant of one million Euros.
Understanding the underlying physics of skin development is critical for preventing and curing numerous skin defects, painful blistering, and skin cancers. To be able to engineer life and study the process of skin formation outside the human body, all in a plastic dish, LMU physicist Friedhelm Serwane together with two international collaborators has been awarded an HSFP grant of one million Euros. The Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) has been promoting international cooperation in the field of life sciences since 1989. Projects must include researchers from at least two countries.
