Prof. Frank Bradke Inducted into the North Rhine–Westphalia Academy of Sciences and Arts

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.
