I will be receiving research fundings from Gemeinnützige Hertie-Stiftung to support my research on age-related brain plasticity changes underlying long-term somato symptoms, and investigate the feasibility of self-intervention in aging group.
This is a great step forward for me to develop into an independent researcher, and learn from the senior scientists.

As a kid, being a ‘scientist’ always sound so far away, yet now I am called a scientist on many occasions.
It is a nice feeling, I must say. And it will for sure encourage me to pursue more in my research field.

Peng Liupeng.liu@uni-tuebingen.deOctober 2025 Attempto-Preis Awarded2025-10-15T00:00:00+00:002025-10-15T00:00:00+00:00https://pengliu1120.github.io/pengliu//posts/2025/10/blog-post-4I’m incredibly honoured and excited to share the great news, that I am awarded the Attempto-Preis 2025!
This prize is awarded to junior scientists for outstanding achievements in the neurosciences - to date some of the awardees are distinguished experts in medicine and biology.
The recognition is for our recently published paper, “Layer-specific changes in sensory cortex across the life span in mice and humans.” at Nature Neuroscience. It truly is a career highlight.
This award should also be shared with my great colleague and co-first author of the paper, Dr. Juliane Doehler, for the fantastic team work and dedication that made this research possible.
Looking forward to what comes next!
