Clarivate Plc, a leading global provider of transformative intelligence, released the Highly Cited Researchers 2025 list. There are 363 Highly Cited Researchers from Germany, and 66 from the Max Planck Society. Meritxell Huch and Anthony Hyman, both directors at the Max-Planck-Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG), are among 6,868 researchers from across the globe whose contributions have demonstrated broad and significant influence in their fields.

Mertixell Huch's research focuses on fundamental principles underlying the maintenance and repair of adult tissues, as well as the mechanisms by which their dysregulation contributes to disease. Her research includes 3D organoid models of the stomach, liver, and pancreas, aiming to unravel critical insights into tissue regeneration and pathology. Anthony Hyman, who has also been recognized as a Clarivate Citation Laureate earlier this year, discovered a fundamental mechanism of cellular organization mediated by phase separation of proteins and RNA into membraneless liquid droplets.

Analysts from the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) at Clarivate recognized 6,868 individuals with 7,131 awards from more than 1,300 institutions in 60 countries and regions. The evaluation and selection process draws on data from the Web of Science Core Collection and uses quantitative metrics and qualitative analysis to identify individuals whose work has had a genuine, global influence on their fields.
