Mathematical Complexity Reduction - MathCoRe more

German Network for Bioinformatics Infrastructure more

H2Mare: Wind turbines with integrated electrolyzer demonstrate sustainable hydrogen production at sea more

The start-up "eversyn" is developing a technology to synthesize nucleotide sugars and produce human milk oligosaccharides for the food and pharmaceutical industries more

In the IntelAlgen project, engineers, mathematicians, and environmental scientists are collaborating to investigate how algae can be used in a sustainable biorefinery. Using mathematical models and AI-supported methods, resources are optimized, biomass and nutrients are converted into valuable products, and pathways are opened up for a marketable circular economy. more

The DIP VAK project explores defective interfering particles (DIPs) of influenza A virus as a novel antiviral strategy. DIPs block viral replication, boost innate immunity, and even inhibit unrelated respiratory viruses such as RSV and SARS-CoV-2. This makes them a promising tool for broad-spectrum prevention and therapy, offering rapid countermeasures against seasonal outbreaks and future pandemics. more
