  Erwin Neher Biography | World of Anatomy and Physiology
Erwin Neher, along with Bert Sakmann, was awarded the 1991 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for the development of the patch clamp technique.
Neher was born in Landsberg, Germany, on March 20, 1944, the son of Franz Xavier Neher and Elisabeth Pfeiffer Neher.
Neher found that by using a light suction with a super clean pipette, he could create a high-resistance seal of 10-100 gigohms (a gigohm is a measure of electrical resistance equal to one billion ohms).

Neher earned a degree in physics from the Technical University of Munich and then attended the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where he obtained a master of science degree in 1967.
Neher and Sakmann used a thin glass pipette, one-thousandth of a millimetre in diameter, that was fitted with an electrode to detect the flow of individual ions through the ion channels of a cell membrane.
Neher returned to the Max Planck Institute in Gottingen that same year and in 1983 was made director of the institute's membrane biophysics department.

Neher and Sakmann conclusively established with their technique that ion channels do exist and how they function.
Neher and Sakmann showed which parts of the molecule constitute the "sensor" and the interior wall of the channel.

Neher, a physicist, also studied at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and did research at the University of Washington in Seattle, the University of California at Los Angeles and Yale University.
Neher moved to the University of Washington to work with Dr. Charles F. Stevens and then moved with him to Yale, said Dr. Stevens, who is now a Howard Hughes Medical Investigator at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California.

Along with Erwin Neher, Bert Sakmann developed the patch clamp technique to record the small ionic currents (only a few picoamperes) that flow through a single ion channel in neuronal membranes.
Rather than penetrating the cell with a sharp electrode as was traditionally done in voltage-clamp experiments, Neher and Sakmann fabricated blunt-tipped glass pipettes that, when pressed gently against the membrane of a cell would isolate a small area of membrane (diameter = 1 mm).
The primary difficulty for Sakmann and Neher in their development of the patch clamp method was noise.

 Ion Channels - explains the Electro Acuscope and Myopulse
The patch clamp method of Sakmann and Neher, a technology which enables the examination of individual ion channels, was honored with a Nobel Prize and has resulted in the foundation of molecular electrophysiology as a recognized science.
Only after Erwin Neher and Bert Sakmann developed the “patch clamp method” was the existence of ion channels ever proven.
After numerous futile experiments and constant improvements, Neher and Sakmann finally succeeded in 1976 to measure the ionic current of single channels in the cell membrane of a muscle fiber.

 The Scientist : The Patch Clamp Goes Planar
But Neher, never a dynamic speaker, gave a flat recitation of how he and his colleague used a micropipette to create a tight seal on a tiny patch of membrane, which greatly reduced surface area and thus noise, allowing them to detect fainter signals than was previously possible.
Although Neher and Sakmann refined their original technique[1] into the familiar "suck-on-a-cell" method,[2] patch clamping is still a meticulous, time-consuming procedure requiring a skilled technician to manipulate pipettes and cells under a microscope.
