SCIENCE@DKFZ

SCIENCE@DKFZ is a monthly internal seminar series and forms a regular platform for presenting 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 junior group leader. These speakers will also give a general overview of their research field. In addition, recent DKFZ publication highlights will be presented as short talks. In this season, we also plan to scatter in tech talks from leaders of our core facilities. In each edition and over each 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.

Colleagues from the Heidelberg Campus are warmly welcomed to all events.

The next event of the season VII SCIENCE@DKFZ lecture series has been scheduled for Tuesday, 12 December 2023 at 4 pm with a keynote lecture by Dr. Moritz Mall⁢⁢⁢⁢⁢ as in-person only event.

We invite you to join us at DKFZ lecture hall.

Before and after the keynotes young scientists will present outstanding recently published publications. Detailed program see below.
