Prof. Dr. Stefanie Speidel

Head of Department

Prof. Dr. Stefanie Speidel is developing assistance systems to guide surgeons safely and directly to the tumor. These intelligent aids are particularly needed for minimally invasive operations. Here, the surgeon makes a small incision in the patient's skin and controls the operation using video images from the endoscope.

Our research

In this content area, you have the opportunity to provide detailed insights into the research work of your division:

Present research priorities
Present the central research questions and topics of your division. Describe the main areas and specific questions being researched in your division. This gives visitors a clear overview of what your research is all about.

Current developments
Highlight important current research findings. Make sure to present scientific findings in such a way that a wider audience can also understand them.

Methods and technologies
Explain specific methods or technologies used in your division. This helps to highlight your division's expertise and show how you achieve your research goals.

Goals and societal relevance
Explain the overarching goal your division is pursuing with its research and what contribution it is making to cancer research and the fight against cancer. This makes it clear what added value your research has for society and how it fits into the overall picture of the German Cancer Research Center.

The information should be updated regularly to make new projects and developments visible.

Use of images

Take the opportunity to place suitable images on your department pages, for example to convey complex scientific content. A research focus, represented by a suitable image or diagram, is often easier to remember and helps to arouse and retain the reader's interest.

A page that consists solely of text quickly becomes overwhelming and does not invite readers to continue reading. Images loosen up the layout and give the page more dynamism and structure. The eye can "dock" onto visual elements and intuitively find its way through the text. Photos of the team, projects or research facilities provide a personal insight into the division's work. Such visual insights create an emotional connection and make the scientific work more tangible. This also strengthens confidence in the professionalism and seriousness of the division.

Images encourage users to linger longer on the site and engage more intensively with the content. Especially in research communication, it is important to keep the reader's attention so that complex content is fully absorbed.

Projects
