Fundraising and Grants

I am an experienced fundraiser. Next to the full scholarships, I received for my undergrad and master studies, I got the national science foundation graduation project grant (1500 TL), ESEB congress registration fund (250‎€), Forschungskredit Post-doc grant (CHF 92,000), ESEB Fund for Equal Opportunities (900‎€) and for my crowdfunding campaign (CHF 4,000) from 100-days.net. The annual Evolutionary Genomics School I founded and co-organized since 10 years received regular full support from the national funds so that we could cover al the costs of students completely since years.

Also, I have put together proposals for a SystemsX post-doc grant (10 pages), Sinergia (30 pages), Krebsliga project grant twice (10 pages) and a Novartis project grant (6 pages). For the Sinergia grant, I convinced two PIs from academia and a clinician to follow up my paper from the PhD on clinical samples. That project got funded with 3 million CHF with many collaborator partners across Switzerland including Bern Hospital, Microsoft, and ETH.
