Biography

Who is Eigen Manfred?

German biophysical chemist who won the 1967 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for work on measuring fast chemical reactions, sharing the prize with Ronald George Wreyford Norrish and George Porter. Eigen received his PhD at the University of Göttingen in 1951 under supervision of Arnold Eucken. From 1953 on he worked at the Max Planck Institute for Physical Chemistry in Göttingen, becoming its director in 1964 and joining it with the Max Planck Institute for Spectroscopy to become the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry. Eigens name is linked with the theory of quasispecies, the error threshold, error catastrophe, Eigens paradox, and the chemical hypercycle, the cyclic linkage of reaction cycles as an explanation for the self-organization of prebiotic systems, which he described with Peter Schuster in 1977. He died on 6 February 2019 at the age of 91. Link to Wikipedia biography
