🎉 Jarek awarded Horizon Europe ERA Talents grant!

From MSCA near-miss to ERA Talents success, BioGenies score again! 🇪🇺💪 . Next stop: Life Sciences Center at Vilnius University

🚀 Jarek awarded his first Horizon Europe ERA Fellowship! 🇪🇺🎓

We’re thrilled to announce that Jarek has received a Horizon Europe ERA Talents Postdoctoral Fellowship! 🌟 This came as a surprise twist after he submitted a MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship proposal, which, while not funded, still passed all threshold points. For a first European-level application, that’s already a huge win! 💪

But here’s the plot twist: 💡 his application was automatically moved to the ERA Talents scheme. We had already lost hope…

…Until last week, out of the blue, we received a notification from the European Commission:

“Congratulations. Your proposal has reached the stage of Grant Agreement preparation.”

Cue the celebration! 🎊🥳🎊🥳🎊🥳

✈️ Two-year adventure in Vilnius

Starting early next year, Jarek will begin a two-year research stay at Vilnius University 🇱🇹. There, he’ll:

• 🔬 Study the impact of small molecules on amyloid polymorphism
  
• 🧩 Apply the findings to expand the AmyloGraph database
  
• 🤝 Collaborate closely with top researchers in the field

This project promises to push forward our understanding of amyloid structures and interactions and feed valuable insights into our growing infrastructure!

We’re incredibly proud of Jarek for this achievement and perseverance. From nearly missing out to scoring an amazing opportunity, this grant will open new doors for international collaboration and career development!
