The Carl Correns Foundation for Mathematical Biology is a small donation-based and privately-funded research institution to specifically support theoretical work in cell biology and neuroscience.
Theoretical work is different from experimental work and data analysis. It flourishes with independence, open discussions and feasibility studies, a disconnection from predictable outcomes and the opportunity for unconstrained creative thought. Theoretical work is not expensive, compared to the labor and equipment needed to acquire the data. It is also very suitable for remote and virtual collaboration.
We offer fellowships for researchers with a strong quantitative background, selected for passion and excellence, in support of individual projects within our research areas and in coordinated synergy with experimental biologists.
