Our Research

Scientists at the DKFZ and its partner sites have access to a broad portfolio of research infrastructures. This includes core facilities as well as data management and IT services. The core facilities provide access to state-of-the-art technology, advise users and deal with method development. Data management and IT services cover the need for IT infrastructures and offer software solutions for the organization and proper handling with it.

The DKFZ is one of the world's leading cancer research centers. It closely combines basic research with clinical application in order to bring findings to patient care more quickly. To this end, it uses specialized infrastructures and interdisciplinary collaborations. At translational sites in Germany, the DKFZ works together with university hospitals and research partners to optimize processes and make research results quickly usable.

Patient involvement is a key component of the research strategy of the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ). DKFZ relies on partnership and collaboration to promote patient-centred approaches in all areas of research – from basic research to clinical translational research.
