Luca Christen - Neuropsychologist Katharina Henke and evolutionary biologist Katie Peichel are each receiving a highly endowed SNSF Advanced Grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). Their research projects deal with the ability to remember despite amnesia and the predictability of evolution. With the SNSF Advanced Grants, the Swiss National Science Foundation supports researchers with a track record of outstanding research over the past ten years, who are recognized as leaders in their fields. Researchers who wish to conduct innovative, high-risk research in Switzerland are funded. SNSF Advanced Grants provide funding of up to CHF 2.5 million for a maximum period of five years. The SNSF Advanced Grants were launched in 2021 to provide an interim solution for researchers wishing to apply for an ERC Advanced Grant under Horizon Europe.
