Origin and function of the pituitary generator of GH pulses – GH-Gen
The project addresses a critical function in humans and all vertebrates: how are build-up the pulsatile secretion of GH that regulates body growth and metabolism? Our working hypothesis is that the functional network organisation of pituitary GH-secreting somatotrophs decodes fast hypothalamic GHRH inputs in order to transmit this information as slowly-evolving waves of calcium oscillations which leads to circhoral GH pulses into the bloodstream
Synergistic Catalysis: a new tool for Cycloaddition Reactions – CycloSyn
The end-goal of the CycloSyn program is to establish synergistic catalysis as a new tool for (3+3) cycloadditions towards valuable heterocycles.
Chiral Lewis Bases – Pivotal Species for Asymmetric FLP- and Lewis Acid-Catalysis – CLABcat
As a possible alternative to transition metals as catalysts, chiral frustrated Lewis pairs and chiral strong Lewis acids, both non-metallic, are struggling to develop their full potential due to the hitherto crucial need for chiral boron-based strong Lewis acids, which are difficult to access and handle. CLABcat proposes 2 approaches to overcome this hurdle.

Weak-interaction studies with 32Ar decay – WISArD
The Doppler effect of protons emitted after beta decay of 32Ar allows the access to the beta-neutrino angular correlation that indicates which contributions are presents in the weak interaction: scalar, vector, tensor or axial-vector contributions. A specifically designed experimental set-up will improve constraints by a factor of 5.
demographics of planets close to their birth place & their occurrence in the disk and the bar of our Galaxy. – COLD-WORLDS
Cold Worlds uses the gravitational microlensing technique to explore a unique niche: cold planets with masses as small as the Earth orbiting all types of stars (even stellar remnants), old planets in large orbits, free planets (i.e. not bound to a star) and even exolunes orbiting extra-solar planets.
Social Transformation in South African Science and Innovation – STIS
This project investigates the integration of excluded groups into social collectives, with an empirical focus on the racial transformation of the South African science system. It addresses an attempt to accelerate changes in response to decades of systematic denial of opportunity to particular groups in society.
