European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grants offer European researchers the opportunity to pursue ambitious, curiosity-driven projects that can lead to major scientific breakthroughs. Prof. Dr. Max Nieuwdorp from the Amsterdam University Medical Centre, Netherlands, has received an ERC Advanced Grant of 2.5 million euros in 2024 for a comprehensive study on the causes of excessive alcohol production as a result of a disturbed gut microbiome. His project aims to open up a new way to treat fatty liver disease and liver inflammation. As part of the STRIMHealth project, Prof. Nieuwdorp will share his path to successful ERC funding, as well as useful tips and tricks.
