The German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg has its own multidisciplinary research program dedicated to “Imaging and Radiooncology”. This research program is concerned with introducing new findings, methods and technologies into the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers,  biologists, pharmacists and chemists strongly collaborate to tailor tumor treatment to the individual patient and to improve possibilities of local and systemic tumor control.

Main research acitivites are focused on:

• Development of novel approaches in diagnostics and therapy, based on physical methods
• Non-invasive imaging technologies such as CT, MRI, PET/CT, PET/MRI and radiation therapy technologies
• Radiotracer and radiopharmaceutical drug development including radiochemistry and nuclear chemistry to target cancer cells
• Transfer of novel systemic therapeutic and diagnostic methods into a clinical setting.

The DKFZ warmly invites you to apply to the International PhD Program and to join the many distinguished scientists in cancer research.
