Hell studied from 1981 at the University Heidelberg (Germany). 1990 Hell received his doctorate in physics from the University of Heidelberg. From 1991 to 1993 Hell worked at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg. From 1993 to 1996 he worked as a group leader at the University of Turku (Finland) in the department for Medical Physics. , where he developed the principle of the STED microscopy . From 1993 to 1994 Hell was a visiting scientist at the University of Oxford (England). 1996 Hell received his habilitation in physics from the University of Heidelberg. 1997 he became a group leader of his current research group dedicated to sub-diffraction-resolution microscopy at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Göttingen.

On October 15, 2002 Hell became a director of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry and he established the department of Nanobiophotonics.

Since 2003 Hell was the leader of the department "High Resolution Optical Microscopy division" at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg.

Hell developed the STED microscopy and so he was breaking the resolution barrier in light-focusing microscope from Ernst Karl Abbe.

Hell is married and has two sons.
