Dr. Hanieh Fattahi from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) is delighted to have been awarded the prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant and will receive around two million euros in funding over a period of five years. She will advance the next generation of laser-driven biological microscopy with her research project ‘Beyond the Visible’. 

Researcher Dr. Mario Krenn is developing artificial intelligence (AI) to complement the ingenuity and creativity of human researchers. The resercher at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light has now been awarded an ERC Starting Grant.

Dr. Hanieh Fattahi, independent leader of the research group “Femtosecond Fieldoscopy”, and her team at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen are aiming to develop a new type of solar laser. This research project has been funded with 476,000 euros.

Since May, physicist Professor Benoit Ladoux and his research group 'Tissue mechanobiology' have been investigating the role of mechanical constraints and force transmission in multicellular systems at the Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin (MPZPM). With Ladoux, the MPZPM not only gains a world-leading researcher in the field of biophysics, but now has a fourth Humboldt Professor on…
