26 April 2022 - Awards

Professor Mikkel Heide Schierup has received EUR 2.5 million, corresponding to approx. DKK 18.6 million, in the form of an ERC Advanced Grant. Professor Schierup's ground-breaking project is called ‘X-chromosome driven speciation through testes-expressed genes: comparative population genomics meets scRNA analysis in primates’. Fortunately, the project title has been shortened to the acronym Xspect. The purpose of the project is to learn about the processes that govern the formation of new primate species, including ourselves.
