Max-Planck-Institute For Biophysical Chemistry
The Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry (), also known as the Karl-Friedrich Bonhoeffer Institute (), was a research institute of the Max Planck Society, located in Göttingen, Germany. On January 1, 2022, the institute merged with the Max Planck Institute for Experimental Medicine in Göttingen to form the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences. This was the only Max Planck Institute (MPI) that combined the three classical scientific disciplines – biology, physics and chemistry. Founded in 1971, its initial focus was on problems in physics in chemistry. It had undergone a continuous evolution manifested through an expanding range of core subjects and work areas such as neurobiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology. At the time of merger, 850 people worked at the institute, about half of them scientists. Four researchers working at the institute – Stefan Hell, 2014; Erwin Neher and Bert Sakmann, 1991; and Manfred Eigen, 1967 – were awarded the ...

Kaiser Wilhelm Institute For Physical Chemistry
The Kaiser Wilhelm Society for the Advancement of Science () was a German scientific institution established in the German Empire in 1911. Its functions were taken over by the Max Planck Society. The Kaiser Wilhelm Society was an umbrella organisation for many institutes, testing stations, and research units created under its authority. History Constitution The Kaiser Wilhelm Gesellschaft (KWG) was founded in 1911 as a research institution outside the university system in order to advance the interests of German state and capital through the development of scientific knowledge relevant to industrial and military application. The inaugural meeting was held on 11 January 1911. The constituent institutes were established in succession and placed under the guidance of prominent directors, whose ranks included the physicists and chemists Walther Bothe, Peter Debye, Albert Einstein, Fritz Haber and Otto Hahn; a board of trustees also provided guidance. Funding came from both bus ...

Reinhard Jahn
Reinhard Jahn (born 21 December 1950) is a German biophysicist and neurobiologist known for his studies of cellular membrane fusion. For these investigations, he has been honored with numerous awards, including the 2000 Leibniz Award. Jahn is currently director at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry and the president of the University of Göttingen in Göttingen, Germany. Early life and education Reinhard Jahn was born in Leverkusen, Germany, in 1950. He moved to Göttingen to study biology and biochemistry. Working in the lab of Hans-Dieter Söling, in 1981 he received a PhD from the University of Göttingen. Career and research Jahn moved to New York City to work as a postdoc in the lab of Paul Greengard, where he went on to become an assistant professor at The Rockefeller University. In 1986 he returned to Germany as a junior group leader at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Munich. In 1991 he moved to New Haven to join the faculty at the Yale School ...

Jens Frahm
Jens Frahm (born 29 March 1951 in Oldenburg, Germany) is a German biophysicist and physicochemist. He is Research Group Leader of the Biomedical NMR group at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Göttingen, Germany (prior to January 1, 2022, at the former MPI for Biophysical Chemistry). Early life and education From 1969 to 1974 Frahm studied physics at the University of Göttingen. His PhD thesis under the guidance of Hans Strehlow at the MPI for Biophysical Chemistry was devoted to the use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for a characterization of the molecular dynamics of hydrated ions in complex solutions. He received his PhD degree in 1977 in physical chemistry. Career Early Working as a research assistant at the Göttingen MPI since 1977 Frahm formed an independent research team which focused on the new possibilities offered by spatially resolved NMR and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – discovered in 1974, by Paul Lauterbur ...

Marina Bennati
Marina Bennati is a German physicist who is a professor at the University of Göttingen and the leader of research group ESR spectroscopy at the Max Planck Institute for multidisciplinary Sciences . Her research is focused on the development of high-field electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy for the characterisation of biomolecules and the methods of high-field dynamic nuclear polarization for the sensitivity enhancement of nuclear magnetic resonance. Early life and education Bennati started her scientific career in chemistry, earning a bachelor's degree at the University of Münster. Bennati earned her doctorate in physics at the University of Stuttgart. She moved to Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a German Research Foundation postdoctoral fellow. In 1999 she was promoted to staff research associate. Research and career Bennati returned to Germany in 2002, where she was made a lecturer at the Goethe University Frankfurt and awarded the International EPR Soc ...
