Daniel Wehner has been decorated with the RISING STAR AWARD by the International Society for Regenerative Biology (ISRB). The prize honors early-career scientists charting new directions in regenerative biology and whose scientific contributions will have a lasting impact on research in the field.…

Nonlinear light microscopy has revolutionized our ability to observe and understand complex biological processes. However, light can also damage living matter. Yet, the mechanism behind the irreversible perturbation of cellular processes by intense light remains poorly understood. To address this…

Daniel Wehner, research group leader at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, has been awarded the Young Research Award from the German Society of Developmental Biology. The prize recognizes outstanding research and activity in the field of developmental biology and is awarded every two…

Scientists have long sought to understand how certain animals, such as zebrafish, are able to regrow nerve fibers and regain lost motor function after spinal cord injury. In humans, these injuries are irreparable and result in permanent loss of function, such as paralysis. An international team led…

Julia was awarded the best poster prize at the International Society for Regenerative Biology (ISRB)  Inaugural Conference in Vienna! Congratulations!

Zebrafish are capable of regenerating their spinal cord. The German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) is now providing 250,000€ to the MPL Research Group led by Daniel Wehner to further study this remarkable ability. Wehner and his team will use the funds to continue their…
