Leibniz Prize 2010: 10 winners receive honor, prize money and 'idyllic freedom'

chanical properties in particular. For instance, he analyses the relationship between the properties and structures of biological materials and develops new biomimetic and bio-inspired materials, which approximate biological structures and processes. His studies in this field are built on his earlier work in metal physics. Often conducted in cooperation with medical researchers and biologists, his work is a great asset to basic research and also yields findings that are significant to the treatment of diseased bone tissue and especially to osteoporosis. Moreover, it lays the foundations for the development of new and improved biomimetic bone replacement materials and for regenerative hard tissue therapies.

Peter Fratzl obtained his engineering diploma in Paris, completed his doctoral degree in physics in Vienna, and subsequently worked in the United Sates, the United Kingdom and in Germany. Fratzl then held a professorship in Loeben and worked as Director of the Erich Schmid Institute for Materials Science, which belongs to the Austrian Academy of Sciences, before switching to the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam. Fratzl has already received several international awards for his work, and he is an internationally recognised teacher.

Prof. Dr. Roman Inderst (39), Economics, University of Frankfurt am Main

At just 39 years of age, the economist Roman Inderst is the youngest Leibniz prizewinner in 2010, and his work to date already surpasses the life work of many of his renowned colleagues. Inderst works simultaneously in several branches of economics, to each of which he has made significant contributions. In his earlier studies of "pure theory", he addressed the topic of markets in which individual participants have an information advantage. In the area of industrial economics, he investigated, among other things, the consequences that mergers between intermediate product manufacturers have on the entire market.
