Frank Bradke Elected to the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities

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.
