Danmarks Frie Forskningsfond støtter 20 forskningsprojekter på SUND

Danmarks Frie Forskningsfond har netop uddelt mere end 584 mio. kr. gennem det frie virkemiddel DFF-Forskningsprojekt1. Blandt modtagerne er 20 forskere fra Det Sundhedsvidenskabelige Fakultet, der tilsammen modtager knap 73 mio. kr. til fri forskning inden for blandt andet kræft, stofskifte, immunologi, folkesundhed, global sundhed og veterinærvidenskab

Bevillingerne giver forskere mulighed for at forfølge originale forskningsidéer og skabe ny viden inden for hele bredden af dansk forskning.
