Collaborative Research Projects
At the TUM School of Life Sciences, research is conducted in a variety of projects in the spirit of "One Health" in order to secure the foundations of healthy life and to sustainably shape the coexistence of humankind.
The Collaborative Research Center CRC 1371, which is headed by the School, as well as the Transregios TRR 333 and TRR 356 with TUM participation play a leading role in basic research. These projects, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), make it possible to work on innovative, demanding, elaborate and long-term research projects. In addition, the scientists of the School of Life Sciences are very successfully involved in the acquisition of ERC Grants of the European Research Council as well as in other large-scale projects.

Clinspect-M
The Clinical Mass Spectrometry Center for Molecular Brain Research in Munich conducts interdisciplinary research into diseases of the central nervous system and is funded by the BMBF.
ERC Grants
Researchers at the TUM School of Life Sciences have already received numerous ERC grants from the European Research Council (ERC) for their cutting-edge research.
The School's researchers are included in all three funding categories:
- ERC Starting Grant
- ERC Consolidator Grant
- ERC Advanced Grant
NHPig
Reducing Non-Human Primates in Non-Clinical Safety Assessment: The European Initiative on Minipig and Micropig Models
TRANS-SAHARA
Novel WEFE Nexus-based approaches towards agroforestry management in the Greater North African Region
TUMCREATE – TUM research platform in Singapore
Proteins4Singapore: Life science project for sustainable nutrition
The Proteins4Singapore research program at TUM is using reverse food engineering and additive manufacturing to develop novel, nutritious, and tasty sources of protein. The aim is to ensure sustainable nutrition for a growing global population despite urbanization and scarce agricultural land.
BayKlimaFit 2
The project network “BayKlimaFit 2 – Strong plants mitigating the impact of climate change” consists of ten specialized projects researching ways to make plants climate-resilient, healthy, and efficiently cared for despite climate stress.
