Prof. Dr. Anthony Hyman is Director and Group Leader at the
Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics.
He was born May 27, 1962 in Haifa, Israel and is a citizen of
the UK. In 1984, he received his BSc first class in Zoology from
the University College in London, where he worked as research
Assistant in 1981. From 1985 to 1987 he wrote his PhD on “The
establishment of division axes in early C.elegans embryos” un-
der the supervision of Dr. John White at the Laboratory of Mo-
lecular Biology, MRC in Cambridge, England. From 1988-1992
he carried out his postdoctoral research in the lab of Prof. Tim
Mitchison at UCSF, investigating the mechanism of chromo-
some movement with in vitro approaches. In 1993, he became
a Group Leader at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory
in Heidelberg, before he moved to Dresden in 1999 as one of
the founding directors of the Max Planck Institute of Molecu-
lar Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG), where he remains a
Director and Group Leader today. He was Managing Director
of the MPI-CBG from 2010-2013. Dr. Hyman has received a
number of awards and honors through-
out his career. As a postdoc, Dr. Hyman
was a Lucille P. Markey Senior Fellow
(1991-1992). He has been a member of
ASCB since 1996 and EMBO since 2000.
In 2002, Hyman was named honorary
Professor of Molecular Cell Biology at
the Technical University Dresden. He was awarded the EMBO
Gold Medal in 2003, and he was elected as a Fellow of the
Royal Society in 2007. In 2011, Dr. Hyman was awarded the
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize, the most important research
award in Germany. Most recently, in 2017, he was honored to
receive the Schleiden Medal from the German National Acade-
my of Sciences Leopoldina. This award is given once every two
years for outstanding findings in the field of cell biology. Also
in 2017 the American Society for Cell Biology presented Life-
time Fellow Recognition to Prof. Dr. Hyman for distinguished
contributions to the advancement of cell biology.
