We are pleased to announce that in September 2014 the DKFZ Career Service has launched a subgroup of their Network on LInkedIn especially for Major Cancer Biology, so current and former students of the program can get and stay in touch, for the exchange of career advise, first-hand information and peer mentoring.

The group is steadily growing and if you are a present or former student of Major Cancer Biology simply request to join (the above picture is a weblink) and see who's there already!

Student graduations, Fellowship awards, a Nobel laureate, PhD Hat competition, Student talk, Poster presentation awards, PhD Council  farewell and welcome, Science Slam,  Music from the "The Wild Types" - this year's annual DKFZ-HIGS Graduation Ceremony was a firework of events, lively and entertaining, but most of all a time to congratulate and celebrate the students who have sucessfully earned their University degrees, PhD or MSc, during the last year.

On Friday afternoon all DKFZ was invited to the Grand Lecture Hall, guided through the program by the Scientific Director of the DKFZ Board, Prof. Dr. Otmar D. Wiestler.
