Congratulations to Professor Judy Hirst, who has been awarded an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC).

Judy's grant is for the energy-converting mechanism of a modular biomachine: Uniting structure and function to establish the engineering principles of respiratory complex I.

Advanced Grants may be awarded up to €2.5 million for a period of five years. The grants are part of the EU’s Horizon Europe programme. The UK agreed a deal to associate to Horizon Europe in September 2023.

Eleven senior researchers at the University of Cambridge have been awarded Advanced Grants from the European Research Council – the highest number of grants awarded to any institution in this latest funding round. Further details can be found in the University's announcement.
