editSince 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
