Second ERC Starting Grant
Elif receives the second ERC Starting Grant (about 1.6 M EUR) on her project titled “Spatiotemporal Regulation of Centriolar Satellite Homeostasis”. She is the first person to receive the ERC Starting Grant twice from the Life Sciences Panels.
With the SatelliteHomeostasis Grant, we will continue dissecting the fascinating biology of centriolar satellites by building upon results from the ERC StG 2015 project as well as on the new preliminary data on centriolar satellite heterogeneity. We will leverage the complexity of centriolar satellites to address questions in organelle plasticity and membrane-less compartmentalization.
