Go back

Mirco Julian Friedrich from the DKFZ, HI-STEM* and Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD) was included in the renowned Forbes ‘30 Under 30 Europe’ list in the Science & Healthcare category.

The physician and cancer researcher, who has headed the Haematology and Immune Engineering junior research group since this year, initially developed successful approaches to reactivate the immune system against brain tumours.

With his current research, Friedrich aims to develop innovative strategies to reprogramme the human immune system by integrating synthetic immunology, genome editing and AI-controlled bioengineering. The aim is to prevent cancer, strengthen immune resilience and promote healthy ageing.

With this award, the US business magazine Forbes annually recognises outstanding young personalities under the age of 30 who stand out in their fields through their innovative strength, social relevance and exceptional achievements.


*The Heidelberg Institute for Stem Cell Research and Experimental Medicine (HI-STEM) gGmbH was founded in 2008 as a public-private partnership between the DKFZ and the Dietmar Hopp Foundation.
