Hadir Marei, postdoctoral scientist in the group of Ivan Dikic at IBC2, was awarded a 2-year Humboldt Research Fellowship for Postdoctoral Researchers by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. The funded project will focus on further elucidating the regulatory interplay between intracellular signaling cascades and the autophagic pathway.

The Humboldt Foundation grants approximately 800 Research Fellowships annually for postdoctoral researchers and experienced scientists through a number of different sponsorship programs to which applicants apply with their own topics and research concepts. Across all scientific disciplines, the Foundation strongly supports junior scientists from abroad wishing to gain research experience in Germany.
