Prof. Vasilis Ntziachristos has been awarded the Future Insight Prize 2026 by Merck. The prize recognizes his pioneering contributions to non-invasive health sensing and is endowed with a research grant of €300,000.

When Cytoskeletal Proteins Act in the Cell Nucleus

The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are also found in the cell nucleus, where they can…

FGF21 is primarily known as a metabolic hormone. A new study by researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the Ludwig Maximilians University has now described a previously unknown mechanism through which FGF21 supports cells under protein folding stress:…

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich, together with international partners, have developed an ultrathin sensor patch capable of non-invasively monitoring key health parameters in preterm infants. The silk-based patch measures temperature, pH, sodium, and…

Prof. Fabian Theis has been awarded the Akademiepreis of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. The Academy honors his pioneering work in computational biomedicine and the development of novel methods for biomedical data analysis.…

Helmholtz Munich and Vector Institute Strengthen International AI Research Collaboration

Helmholtz Munich and the Vector Institute have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to strengthen international collaboration in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. The agreement establishes a formal framework for joint research,…

Dr. Robert Frömel and Dr. Hossam Montaser have been awarded Marie Skłodowska Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships. Over a period of two years, the EU funded fellowships will support their independent research projects on gene regulation in brain…

Dr. Michael Witting has been awarded the Metabolomics Society Medal 2026. The international scientific society recognizes his contributions to the advancement and application of metabolomics methodologies. The medal was presented during the opening…

Dr. Steffen Schneider of Helmholtz Munich and KI macht Schule gGmbH has been admitted as a new member of the Young Academy. Working at the interface of artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and statistical modelling, Schneider joins the Academy's…
