Very joyous news II!
Today, the Norwegian Research Council announced the outcome of the annual yet extremely competitive FRIPRO call for funding of Blue-Sky research projects. Out of the 350 researcher projects within FRIMEDBIO, only 8% or 29 projects were granted. 
One of those applications that were simply too well written and too well conceived to be passed by, describes the project Chartering chemical space of riboswitch ligands – towards future antibiotics, coauthored by Professors Ruth Brenk (Department of Biomedicine) 
and Bengt Erik Haug (Department of Chemistry). It is gratifying to see hard work, dedication and excellent scientific ideas prevail — this is a very important step in the fruitful development of medicinal chemistry at our department. Congratulations!!
