Fritz Thyssen Foundation: "Molecular Basis of the Genesis of Disease"

Supports molecular-biological investigations of those diseases which are caused to an important extent by genetic defects. The following projects are assigned preference:
* Functional analysis of genes for monogenic and complex genetic illnesses
* Establishment and evaluation of cell and animal models for the study of genetic illnesses
* Analysis of predisposing genes or genes which modify illnesses
The Foundation puts special emphasis on the support of young scholars. Collaboration with German researchers is essential.
