The three candidates Dr. Thomas Kalkbrenner, Dr. Jörg Siebenmorgen and Dipl.-Phys. Ralf Wolleschensky found an approach to examine living objects with high-resolution fluorescence microscopy without affecting them. To do this, they expanded the so-called grating light sheet microscopy and combined it with innovative optical elements. This opens up entirely new possibilities for tracing and better understanding processes in cells – in basic research and in the search for new diagnostic methods or active ingredients against many diseases.

Two other teams were selected by the jury for the award. On October 26, 2022, the winners of this year’s award will decide. Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier will present the German Future Award 2022 to the winning team at the award ceremony on the evening of the same day.
The German Future Prize, the Federal President’s Award for Technology and Innovation, honors scientists and engineers who, thanks to excellent basic and cutting-edge research, offer solutions to urgent societal challenges and create jobs. The prize is endowed with 250,000 euros.
The award ceremony can be watched live on 26 October 2022, from 18:00 on www.deutscher-zukunftspreis.de and www.zdf.de. ZDF broadcasts the awards ceremony at 10:15 pm.
