Bonn Neuroscience
Welcome to the Bonn Center of Neuroscience (BCN), the central network for neuroscience at the University of Bonn. At the BCN, more than 300 scientists share a passion for understanding the brain, the most complex and fascinating organ in mammals. The brain allows the organism to perceive and memorize their surroundings, make decisions based on these percepts and convert them to complex behaviors. BCN scientist pursue intellectually ambitious approaches to clarify underlying mechanisms on levels ...

Prof. Dr. Frank Bradke—Senior Group Leader at the DZNE and Professor at the University of Bonn—has been welcomed as a new member of the North Rhine–Westphalia Academy of Sciences and Arts. He received his certificate from the Academy’s President, Prof. Dr. Gerd Heusch, in a ceremony held earlier this year. Bradke’s research focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms behind axonal growth and regeneration in the central nervous system—work that underpins his standing as a leading international neurobiologist . He studied biochemistry, anatomy, and developmental biology in Berlin and London, completed his PhD at EMBL Heidelberg, and conducted postdoctoral research at UCSF and Stanford. Prior to his current roles, he led a research group at the Max Planck Institute in Martinsried. He has been a member of the Leopoldina since 2014 and was awarded the prestigious Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize in 2016. —For more details, see the University of Bonn announcement:https://www.uni-bonn.de/de/neues/frank-bradke-in-die-nrw-akademie-der-wissenschaften-und-der-kuenste-aufgenommen
Prof. Dr. Frank Bradke, neurobiologist at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and professor at the University of Bonn, has been elected to the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BBAW). The induction ceremony took place on June 14, 2025, in Berlin. Bradke is internationally recognized for his research on axonal growth and nerve regeneration in the central nervous system, particularly following spinal cord injuries. His work combines cellular models with animal studies to uncover mechanisms that promote or inhibit neuronal repair. Among many honors, he received the Leibniz Prize (2016), the Roger de Spoelberch Prize (2018), and the BBAW Academy Award (2024). He is a member of several leading scientific organizations, including the Leopoldina and the Academia Europaea. More information:
We warmly congratulate our group leader Dr. Tobias Ackels on receiving the prestigious Paul Ehrlich and Ludwig Darmstaedter Early Career Award 2025. The Paul Ehrlich Foundation honors his groundbreaking research on how the olfactory system contributes to memory processes and emotional behavior. This award is one of the most important distinctions for early career scientists in Germany and highlights the outstanding quality and impact of his scientific work. Further information can be found in the official announcements byUniversity of Bonn,UKB Newsroom,Research in Germany, andGoethe University Frankfurt.
Wie entsteht Erinnerung? Unser Kollege Florian Mormann geht dieser spannenden Frage auf den Grund – mit Konzeptneuronen im menschlichen Gehirn! In DIE ZEIT am Wochenende (Ausgabe 22/2025) gibt’s einen großen Artikel über seine Forschung. Online nachzulesen (leider hinter der Bezahlschranke):https://lnkd.in/eWiCApnk
