Ali Ertürk
Ali Erturk (born September 1980) is a Turkish neuroscientist, inventor, and artist living in Munich, Germany. He is the director of a new Helmholtz Institute on Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (iTERM) in Munich since July 2019[1]. After his undergraduate study at Bilkent University in Ankara, he joined Max-Planck-Institute for Neurobiology for his PhD and Genentech Inc. for postdoctoral research.
His is known for invention of DISCO tissue transparency technology[2][3][4][5][6][7] in biomedical research allowing to visualize intact neuronal networks in the brain and body.[8][9][10] He is also affiliated with the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich[11] and University of Rochester.[12]
