'''Erwin Neher''' (born [[March 20]], [[1944]] in [[Landsberg am Lech]], [[Bavaria]]) is a [[Germany|German]] [[biophysics|biophysicist]].
Erwin Neher studied physics at the [[Technical University of Munich]] from 1963 to 1966. In 1966, He was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study in the US. He spent a year at the [[University of Wisconsin-Madison]], and earned a Masters Degree in Biophysics.
In 1986, he was awarded the [[Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize]] from [[Columbia University]] together with [[Bert Sakmann]] winner of 1991 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
In [[1987]], he received the [[Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize]] of the [[Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft]], which is the highest honour awarded in German research.Along with [[Bert Sakmann]], he was awarded the [[Nobel Prize]] in [[Medicine]] or [[Physiology]] in [[1991]] for the development of the [[patch-clamp technique]]<ref>{{Citation
