News overview

GSN alumna Dr. Angelika Dannert and GSN faculty member Prof. Dr. Dominik Paquet have been awarded the 2026 Rolf Becker Prize for research developing human stem-cell-based models of neurological disease.

International recognition for Prof. Anna Schroeder: she is among Europe’s leading early-career talents in neuroscience.

GSN-LMU was pleased to be part of “Neuroscience in Germany”, the joint German neuroscience booth at the FENS Forum 2026 in Barcelona, July 6–10.

On July 10th, 2026, the Graduate School of Neuroscience (GSN-LMU) and Munich Center for Neurosciences - Brain & Mind (MCN-LMU) came together for a landmark occasion: Graduation Day, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of both institutions.

The GSN-LMU conferred its most recent honorary doctorate to neuroscientist Prof. Matteo Carandini on June 12, 2026, at the Munich Brain Day.

A new study shows how dysfunctional packaging of the neurotransmitter dopamine triggers toxic processes in neurons – and how this can be repaired with simple delivery of energy (ATP).

Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München has once again been confirmed as a University of Excellence within Germany’s national Excellence Strategy.

A new series of talks is planned every year under the well-established Munich Neuroscience Lecture, with seminars scheduled on every first available Monday of the month, at 5:00 pm.

Congratulations from the GSN community to faculty members Martin Dichgans, Arthur Liesz and Sophia Stoeklein on securing DFG and ERC funding!
