Ali Ertürk

Ali Ertürk (born September 1980, Turkey) is a neuroscientist, inventor, and artist living in Munich, Germany. He is the director of a new Helmholtz Institute on Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (iTERM) in Munich since July 2019[1]. After his undergraduate study at Bilkent University in Ankara, he joined Max-Planck-Institute for Neurobiology for his PhD and Genentech Inc. for postdoctoral research.

His is known for invention of DISCO tissue transparency technology and deep learning based analysis of large 3D images in biomedicine[2][3][4][5][6][7]. The methods collectively target to analyze cellular and molecular details of whole organs and bodies.[8][9][10] Ertürk is also affiliated with the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich[11] and University of Rochester.[12]
