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 institutions and excels particularly in the fields of basic and early translational research. To ensure that research results and developments can be rapidly implemented in clinical practice and benefit cancer patients, we rely on a broad range of expertise, highly specialized, interconnected infrastructures, and close cooperation between basic researchers and clinically active physicians.

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.
