A neuron type atlas of the annelid brain: development and evolution of chemosensory-motor circuits
Since the European Research Council (ERC) launched in 2007, many innovative and ambitious projects by EMBL scientists have been awarded financial support by the ERC.
The ERC promotes frontier research by outstanding scientists and selects projects based solely on scientific excellence. During their time at EMBL, the following scientists have been awarded funding across the three ERC core grant schemes: starting, consolidator and advanced grants.
Inspired by the ERC’s tenth anniversary in 2017, we asked some of EMBL’s ERC grantees to look ahead another ten years and share their vision for their field of research.
