Short description
People of the same chronological age often differ greatly in biological age. The aim of the project is to better understand the causes of biological ageing and to be able to measure them as accurately as possible using biomarkers.
Here you will find an overview of the projects we are currently funding. On average, about 240 projects are being funded. Smaller funding projects are sometimes not described individually.

People of the same chronological age often differ greatly in biological age. The aim of the project is to better understand the causes of biological ageing and to be able to measure them as accurately as possible using biomarkers.
In the project, the energy supply of electromobility is considered holistically across all areas (distribution network, charging station, battery). The overall system is tested and optimized using a digital twin and in the laboratory.
At the Ilmenau School of Green Electronics (ISGE), young scientists are working on green microelectronics in an interdisciplinary manner. This is not only sustainable and climate-neutral in operation, but also along the entire value chain and in the entire material cycle.
With the funding of the Carl Zeiss Foundation, open rooms and workshops are being set up at the TU Ilmenau - so-called FabLabs. This is where people interested in setting up a business can produce and test their prototypes.
The Prisma fund enables Prof. Dr. Katrin Giller, Professor of Molecular Nutritional Sciences at the University of Hohenheim, to carry out preliminary work for a human study on the health effects of red meat.
Prof. Dr. Ebru Ercan Herbst heads the “3D-iPSC-BBB” project at Reutlingen University. The aim is to develop a model for investigating the human blood-brain barrier based on artificially produced pluripotent stem cells.
Prof. Dr. Christina Zielinski has been appointed Endowed Professor of Infection Immunology at the University of Jena with effect from the summer semester of 2021.
Prof. Dr. Pascal Laube is researching the use of dialog-oriented multi-agent systems in project management in the “Intelligent Agents in Dialogue” project at Furtwangen University. The aim is to optimize communication and resource allocation.
Whether and how are degradable materials possible? To clarify this question, research is being conducted into intelligent materials with embedded microphases that promote colonisation by microorganisms in water bodies and thus trigger their complete degradation.
Novel technical materials are supposed to react to changing environmental conditions with a response previously programmed into the material itself. Like biological materials, they can thus adapt to changing environmental conditions.
