Announcing the 2023 Fellows
This year, the University of Strasbourg’s Institute for Advanced Study (USIAS) welcomes 13 researchers who will embark on their Fellowships in 2023, to work on 12 projects.
The new Fellows represent a wide variety of domains; including medicinal chemistry, neuroscience, biophysics, material chemistry, astrophysics and biosystems chemistry in the life sciences and natural sciences; and history, sociology, medieval studies, literature and ethnomusicology in the social sciences and humanities.
One project involves a collaboration between a Strasbourg-based Fellow and an external Fellow from the United States. Five other external Fellows will be hosted by a Strasbourg-based research institute in their field, working as part of the academic community.
Topics range from exploring a new functional region in the human brain, “click” chemistry, controlling intrinsically disordered proteins, new molecules to fight multi-resistant fungal infections, to new ways of studying medieval texts, the politics of memory in Russia, the culture of mountain rescue guides, and the emergence of medical authority in the 18th century.
