Manfred Eigen

Scientist

Manfred Eigen was a German biophysical chemist who won the 1967 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on measuring extremely fast chemical reactions. His pioneering research led to the development of relaxation techniques, which disturb a chemical system's equilibrium and observe its return. This work provided profound insights into the mechanisms of enzymatic reactions and the fundamental processes of life. A former director of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Eigen also co-founded two biotechnology companies, applying his research to practical innovations.
