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 |id = PMID:1374932 |url= http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1374932 |last=Neher |first=E |last2=Sakmann |first2=B |publication-date=1992 Mar |year=1992 |title=The patch clamp technique. |volume=266 |issue=3 |periodical=Sci.
