With more than 3,000 employees, the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) is Germany’s largest biomedical research center. More than 1,300 scientists at DKFZ study how cancer develops, record cancer risk factors and research new strategies to prevent people from developing cancer. They are developing new methods with which tumors can be diagnosed more accurately and cancer patients can be treated more successfully.
At the Cancer Information Service (KID) of the DKFZ, concerned and interested citizens and specialist groups receive individual answers to all questions about cancer.
Together with partners from the university clinics, the DKFZ operates the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) at the sites in Heidelberg and Dresden, and the Hopp Children’s Cancer Center KiTZ in Heidelberg. In the German Consortium for Translational Cancer Research (DKTK), one of six German centers for health research, the DKFZ operates translation centers at seven partner universities. The combination of excellent academic medicine with the cutting-edge research of a Helmholtz Center at the NCT and DKTK sites is an important contribution to the transfer of promising approaches from cancer research to the clinic and thus improves the chances of patients with cancer. The DKFZ is funded 90% by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and 10% by the Land of Baden-Württemberg and is a member of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers.
