How the biological clock ticks in the female reproductive tract – Breakthrough of the Year Award 2025 for Ângela Gonçalves

Endometriosis, menopause, ovarian cancer – still poorly researched and often misdiagnosed. Ângela Gonçalves combines AI, molecular biology, and clinical findings to develop non-invasive tools for early detection, personalized care, and healthier aging – directly challenging gender bias in medicine. The scientist from the DKFZ-Hector Cancer Institute at the University Medical Center Mannheim is the winner […]

Fraunhofer IGB receives approximately three million euros in funding to establish a biofabrication center

The manufacture of complex biological products and tissues is groundbreaking for biomedicine, for example in replacing diseased tissue or as an alternative to animal testing, but also for the biotechnological production of cultured meat. The state of Baden-Württemberg and the EU are investing in equipment at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology IGB […]

AI solutions from the DKFZ set new standards in medical image processing

Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have achieved outstanding success at this year’s world-leading forum for medical image processing and computer-assisted intervention. Two DKFZ departments competed in eight international AI competitions – and won seven of them. The successes cover key areas of oncology – from early detection and diagnosis to therapy support […]

Role of intestinal bacteria in the development of colorectal cancer: Emmy Noether grant for DKFZ researcher Jens Puschhof

The German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding a new Emmy Noether project led by Jens Puschhof from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ). With this project, the junior researcher aims to decipher the role of certain intestinal bacteria in the earliest stages of colorectal cancer development and investigate how this process can be halted. The […]

How immune cells become accomplices of tumors – Langener Wissenschaftspreis awarded to DKFZ researcher Daniel Kirschenbaum

Daniel Kirschenbaum has developed an experimental method for investigating immune responses in living organisms with high temporal resolution. The technique enabled him and his colleagues to reconstruct the temporal sequence of the immune response in malignant brain tumors for the first time. This opens up new perspectives for the development of targeted and temporally precise […]
