Chica and Heinz Schaller Research Groups

Since 2012 the Foundation funds Schaller Junior Research groups at the University of Heidelberg and DKFZ. Initially five groups were funded for a period of five years with the possibility of a two year extension.

  • Cellular Polarity and Viral Infection - Steeve Boulant[18]
  • Neuropeptides - Valery Grinevich[19]
  • Proteostasis in Neurodegenerative Disease - Dr. Thomas Jahn[20]
  • Norovirus Research - Grant Hansman[21]
  • Mechanisms of Tumor Cell invasion - Björn Thews[22]

In Fall 2017 four new group leaders were selected by the interdisciplinary committee.

Chica and Heinz Schaller Endowed Chair

Between 2002 and 2012 the Foundation Ralf Bartenschlager held the chair for Molecular Virology before being appointed full professor at the University of Heidelberg[23][24]
