Bert Sakmann

Bert Sakmann is a German cell Physiologist. He received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1991 for his work on the function of the single ion channels in cells and invention of the patch clamp. He shared the award with Erwin Neher. Patch clamp invention allowed the observation of the amount of electrical energy produced in cellular ion channels. Sakmann is also co-author of the book “Single-Channel Recording” with Erwin Neher.

Bert Sakmann has several awards to his name. In 1986, he was awarded the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize from Columbia University with Erwin Neher. He also received the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft in 1987(the highest honor award in German research).
