SCIENCE@DKFZ

SCIENCE@DKFZ is a monthly internal seminar series and forms 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 presented as 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 bandwidth of research performed at the DKFZ.

Each season is hosted and chaired by one of the six research programs. Colleagues from the Heidelberg Campus are warmly welcomed to all events.

To continue our scientific exchange, our SCIENCE@DKFZ has now started with its second season.

The 11th edition will take place on Wednesday, January 27th at 16:00 and will include a keynote lecture by Ana Martin-Villalba.

As always, this will be framed by presentations of first authors of an exquisite collection of recently published papers.
