Abstract

High-class research needs competent scientists. That is why a junior professorship will strengthen the team at the Institute for Medical Virology at the University Hospital in the future. The qualification professorship for COVID-19 research is intended to intensify and strategically strengthen the search for active ingredients and vaccines in the short term. An excellent scientific doctorate, an independent research profile and international scientific publications in the field of virology are also expected. The qualification professorship is advertised for five years. The Bad Homburg entrepreneur Stefan Quandt finances this endowed professorship from private funds with 600,000 euros. "I assume that SARS-CoV-2 will keep us scientifically busy. We will have to live with the virus for a long time. But we will cope better with it. "
