DKTK Researchers

One of the DKTK’s activities involves creating new long-term research infrastructure at the consortium’s locations, where high-caliber researchers can take their next career step by leading an independent young investigator group or by taking up one of the new jointly appointed grade-W2/3 professorships. There are more than 1.000 medical and scientific researchers within the DKTK, who combine innovative fundamental and clinical research.

You can find detailed profiles of DKTK faculty members with programm specification and research focus in the Researcher Database.
