New PAS international institute established
President of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAS), prof. Jerzy Duszyński established a new PAS International Institute of Molecular Mechanisms and Machines. It will conduct scientific research, research and development work and provide training in the field of biological, chemical, medical, biotechnological, pharmacological and related sciences, and disseminate the outcomes of such research. The Institute starts operating today, December 14.
The institute was made possible thanks to the agreement between the Polish Academy of Sciences and the University Medical Center Göttingen and the agreement between the Polish Academy of Sciences and the University of Warsaw signed on September 30 this year. The International Institute of Molecular Mechanisms and Machines of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IMol) will continue the project "Regenerative Mechanisms for Health" (ReMedy) as part of the Foundation for Polish Science International Research Agendas (IRA) program. So far, the ReMedy project has been carried out at the University of Warsaw.
The PAS president appointed Prof. Agnieszka Chacińska as the director of newly-created institute. According to the signed agreement, the University Medical Center Göttingen will play an advisory function by participating in the works of the Institute's Scientific Board.
