 This year's Max Planck Medal of the German Physical Society (DPG) goes to Prof. Dr. Erwin Frey from CeNS and the Arnold Sommerfeld Center at LMU Munich. With this award, the DPG honors his fundamental contributions to theoretical biophysics, in particular to intercellular transport, biomolecular processes and pattern formation in complex systems.His work focuses on applications in biophysics.
Erwin Frey is looking for fundamental functional units in order to understand the complex processes in biological systems. Among many other successes, Erwin Frey has made outstanding progress in understanding the elastic behavior of semi-flexible polymers and skeletal cell structures, pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems, the formation of protein patterns, intercellular transport mechanisms and the dynamics of microbial systems.
