0092: Spotlight: Frank Winkler, Professor of Experimental Neuro-Oncology, Heidelberg University (4/14/2025)

Dr. Frank Winkler, at Heidelberg University focuses on the emerging field of cancer neuroscience, and the way brain cancers proceed. Winkler has used two-photon imaging to confirm that glioma cells link through microtubes, similar to typical neurons in the brain. His groundbreaking work has earned him the 2025 Brain Prize by the Lundbeck Foundation, alongside Dr. Michelle Monje. And in this spotlight conversation, Winkler discusses the journey he and Dr. Monje took to arrive at their conclusions, and how the shape of cancer research, particularly under the umbrella of neuroscience, is changing.

Spotlight from "All Things Photonics"^® is a special series of intimate sit-down conversations with preeminent figures in our industry.
