European Research Council supports proof of concept for ground-breaking biomedical research from Saxony

Dresden scientist Prof Ivan Minev is to receive 150,000 euros from the European Research Council to further explore the commercial and social potential of his biomedical research. The professor, who works at both TU Dresden and the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research, is one of the 134 researchers selected for so-called proof-of-concept funding.

The focus of his work is on combining materials research, electronics, medicine and biology with the aim of developing new treatment options for neurological diseases. In particular, this involves the fusion of electronic and biological systems to enable innovative therapeutic approaches. Prof Minev has already achieved important successes in the past with an ERC Starting Grant in 2018 and an ERC Consolidator Grant in 2023, enabling her to further advance her research.

Saxony's Minister of Science Sebastian Gemkow congratulated on this success and emphasised the importance of funding to translate excellent research results into practical applications. He sees great potential in the new therapeutic approaches and hopes for interested investors who will translate the research into clinical practice.

The Proof of Concept grant complements the main funding lines of the European Research Council and is only open to researchers who have already received an ERC grant. The aim is to further develop research results beyond the academic field and bring them into application.
