Andreas Zimprich died of a brain tumor at the age of 48. His parents Marianne and Egon Zimprich established the Andreas Zimprich-Foundation in his memory together with the German Cancer Research Center. The benefactors from Heilbronn would like to advance research in the field of neuro-oncology. Patients with glioma should have better chances in the future for a successful treatment than their son. Since 2010 the foundation has been committed to promoting the development of innovative methods of treatment for brain tumors.
