Nerve cells cultivated from mouse stem cells

Project Funding for Single cell approaches in personalized medicine”

BIH/​Charité/​MDC focus area 

The focus area Single cell approaches for personalized medicine” supports BIH/​Charité/​MDC scientists in translational use case projects to solve central questions of translational or clinical biomedicine and serve the mission of the focus area. In 2024 and 2025 the focus area supported in total 13 projects through open project calls.

A summary of each project will be published soon.
