Two researchers from the Würzburg Biocentre have been awarded prestigious grants for their projects: The European Research Council's Starting Grants are worth €1.5 million each.

A study from Würzburg reveals: pox viruses have developed a unique strategy to rapidly multiply after infecting a host cell. The findings uncover a previously unknown role for a well-known molecule and may serve as a starting point for the development of new antiviral agents.

An international research team has identified a new protein that specifically transports enzymes into peroxisomes. Its mode of action is extraordinary: it operates like a relay racer.

Once a year, the Biocentre of the University of Würzburg presents the Science Award to outstanding junior researchers. In 2025, three young scientists received the award.
