The cooperation "Experimental and theoretical methods for dissecting the dynamics of epigenetic gene silencing in living cells" between Prof. Heinrich Leonhardt's and Prof. Gunnar Schotta's CIPSM groups and scientists from the University of Heidelberg will be supported for the next three years by the "New methods in systembiology" program of the BMBF financially. The cooperation examplifies nicely how successful sicentists can work together. CIPSM gratulates and wishes all the best!
