Molecular mechanisms of ceramide biosynthesis: Florian Fröhlich receives funding from the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation

Great success for Prof. Dr. Florian Fröhlich (head of the Bioanalytical Chemistry division): As part of the Rise up! program, he receives funding of almost 600,000 euros from the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation.

The funded research project aims to decipher the molecular mechanisms and regulation of ceramide synthases – enzymes that play an important role in cellular lipid metabolism.
