Silvia Vignolini is a director at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces since 2023.
She was University Lecturer in Chemistry and Biomaterials from 2017 to 2020, then Professor
ERC funding covers research projects at different stages of a researcher’s career and enables, for example, projects involving several experts who join forces to research completely new areas. Below, researchers provide a glimpse into some of their projects – whether it is internet security, research into the desert climate, the social behaviour of chimpanzees, or new approaches to protein design.
ImPACT is a joint project involving the computer science professor Michael Backes
The Getrud Reemtsma Foundation honours brain researchers Richard Andersen and Karl Friston with the International Prize for Translational Neuroscience
postdoctoral research fellow at Johns Hopkins Medical School and as an assistant professor
At the 74th Annual Meeting in Göttingen, several changes occurred within the Max Planck Society’s leadership. Alongside Patrick Cramer assuming the role of President, the Vice-Presidents also began a new term with a mix of new and familiar faces. The new Vice-Presidents are Claudia Felser from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, Sibylle Günter from the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, and Christian Doeller from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences. Asifa Akhtar from the Max Planck Institute for Immunobiology and Epigenetics, on the other hand, is entering her second term as Vice-President.
He also holds the position of Professor of Medicine at the Kavli Institute in Trondheim

In a recent Nature study, an international research team reports the earliest modern human burial in Africa. The remains of a 2.5 to 3 year-old child were found in a flexed position, deliberately buried in a shallow grave directly under the sheltered overhang of the cave. The interment at Panga ya Saidi joins increasing evidence of early complex social behaviours in Homo sapiens.
“As soon as we first visited Panga ya Saidi, we knew that it was special,” says Professor
The Max Planck Queensland Centre will explore extracellular matrices and their importance for medicine, ecology, and technology

Gemeinsam mit dem japanischen Forschungsinstitut RIKEN hat die Max-Planck-Gesellschaft die Einrichtung eines RIKEN – Max Planck – Joint Research Center for Systems Chemical Biology beschlossen. Beide Forschungseinrichtungen schaffen damit eine Plattform, auf der sie Wissen, Erfahrungen und Infrastruktur sowie neue Methoden und Techniken bündeln.
Umfang unserer 25-jährigen Zusammenarbeit entspricht“, sagt Max-Planck-Präsident Professor
