How to become a Major Cancer Biology Faculty Member?
If you are DKFZ scientist or cooperative partner and wish to actively contribute to our study program by, e.g., giving lectures or tutorials, by organizing (part of) a HP-F practical, please contact the Coordinator, Prof. Ilse Hofmann, to discuss how your offer can be integrated to the program. We are always happy to welcome new active contributors!
In certain cases, teaching activities at the Bachelor level can also be honored by becoming a Major Cancer Biology faculty member.
