SCIENCE@DKFZ

SCIENCE@DKFZ is a new monthly internal seminar series and will form a regular platform for presenting the cutting edge research going on at our center. It aims at increasing the dissemination of scientific results generated at the DKFZ and NCT in Heidelberg. Each edition will feature a comprehensive lecture by a DKFZ division head or alternatively two lectures by junior group leaders.  These speakers will also give a general overview of their research field. In addition, recent DKFZ publication highlights will be introduced and summarized in short and flash talks. In each edition and over each half-year long season, all six research programs of the DKFZ will be covered, with the goal to show not only the excellence but also the width of research performed at the DKFZ.

After the scientific program, everybody is invited for a casual Get-Together and Networking in the foyer of the communication center. Each season is hosted and chaired by one of the six research programs. Colleagues from the Heidelberg Campus are warmly welcomed to all events.

Although the Corona-Virus still has a grip on the globe, scientists all around the world are doing their best to continue their important research. Everybody at the DKFZ is also striving to get the labs going again in order to continue our work to better understand cancer and find new and better ways to fight it.

To continue also our scientific exchange, our SCIENCE@DKFZ series has re-started in May in a virtual format.

The next virtual event will take place on Monday, July 13 at 16:00 and will include a PI-lecture by Lena Maier-Hein on AI for cancer care - successes and pitfalls

As always, this will be framed by presentations of first authors of an exquisite collection of recently published papers. This time the following topics will be presented:

• Xi Wang: HIF-1α regulates NK cell activity
• Stewart Mein: Single and multi-ion therapy techniques
• Julia Simon: EBV antibodies in nasopharyngeal carcinoma
• Sana Hasan: Notch signaling controls insulin flux
• Rajagopal Murugan: Evolution of plasmodia antibodies
