Doerenkamp-Zbinden FoundationThe Doerenkamp-Zbinden Foundation for Realistic Animal Protection supports research to reduce, replace, and refine animal experimentation and awards annual prizes to reward such efforts. The foundation's focus for the 1998 prize is the molecular techniques PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and its implementation using Taqman-reagents in connection with Real-time PCR-machines to successfully reduce animal use and suffering. In order to promote these goals, the Doerenkamp-Zbinden Foundation is willing to finance a Real-time PCR Perkin Elmer 7700 for three research groups. A description of the proposed project goals, procedures, and investigator experience (not exceeding five pages) should be submitted by October 1, 1997 to Professor K. Brune, Institut of Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology, Universitatsstr. 22, D-91054 Erlangen Germany. |
