“We regret that Wolfgang Wick will not be taking over the position of Chairman and Scientific Director at the German Cancer Research Center," said the Members of the DKFZ Management Board, Professor Otmar D. Wiestler (Chairman and Scientific Director) and Professor Josef Puchta (Administrative-Commercial Director).
“Professor Wick will further expand the National Center for Tumor Diseases. For this important role, it is essential that he continues his work in clinically oriented research," says Professor Dr. Guido Adler, Chief Medical Director and Chairman of the Board of Heidelberg University Hospital. “We are pleased that our neurologist and excellent researcher, still in the early phases of his position in the Neurology Department, will stay at our hospital," commented Professor Dr. Wolfgang Herzog, Dean of the Medical Faculty at Heidelberg University.
“Through his collaboration with the NCT and as head of a Clinical Cooperation Unit of DKFZ and Heidelberg University Hospital, he will continue to be closely linked with cancer research at the DKFZ," said Wiestler with an optimistic look into the future.
