ERC Consolidator Grant for Konstanz chemist

The European Research Council awards a Consolidator Grant to Professor Tanja Gaich from the University of Konstanz for a project on the synthesis of highly complex molecules from the taxane family through structural deconvolution. Funding is provided for the further development and testing of a new strategy for the synthesis of natural substances that could not previously be produced in the laboratory.
