New Open Access Publication Fund
The Medical Faculty has successfully secured a second funding period (2026–2028) for its Open Access Publication Fund from the German Research Foundation (DFG), thereby reaffirming its strong commitment to open access publishing. In addition to the DFG funding of €740,000 dedicated to publications arising from DFG-funded projects, the Dean’s Office contributes substantial additional resources to support publications from other funding contexts as well as early-career researchers. In total, €1.5 million will be made available over the next three years to support open access publishing at UKE. Corresponding Authors affiliated with UKE may apply for a publication grant of up to €2,000 (net) for articles accepted on or after January 1, 2026, in quality-assured open access journals. Special funding conditions apply to early-career researchers. More information.Launch of the HCTI Lecture Series, kick-off: 09/02/2026

As part of the inauguration of the Hamburg Center for 3R Research (HC3R) , the Medical Faculty of the University of Hamburg is inviting proposals for funding for two innovative research projects in the field of the 3R Principle (Replace, Reduce, Refine). The aim of the call is to support the development and establishment of new scientific approaches that replace animal experiments, reduce their number or make their implementation more animal-friendly. Projects may include methodological developments, new models or concepts that contribute to the implementation of the 3R concept in biomedical research. Funding will be provided for two research projects with clearly defined themes and time frames, with a maximum of €100,000 each for the entire project duration of up to two years (for personnel and material costs).

Aktuelle Ausgabe „wissen + forschen“ zum Thema Visionäre Medizinforschung
Die Medizin der Zukunft hat - auch wenn der erste Eindruck es glauben macht - nichts mit unendlichen Weiten und fernen Galaxien zu tun. Zur Präzisionsmedizin gehört die CAR-T-Zelltherapie, die bereits seit 2019 erfolgreich im UKE angewandt wird. Dabei wird das Immunsystem mobilisiert, sich gegen bösartige Krebszellen zu wehren. Unterm Mikroskop sieht die Auseinandersetzung wie ein Geschehen im Weltraum aus. Die Immuntherapie ist ein Beispiel für die Medizin der Zukunft, an der im UKE intensiv geforscht wird. Weitere finden Sie hier und in der neuen Ausgabe unseres Magazins wissen+forschen.
