Scientific Environment
DKFZ
The German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ) is the largest biomedical research institute in Germany and is a member of the Helmholtz Association of National Research Centers. More than 2,000 staff members, including 850 scientists, are investigating the mechanisms of cancer and are working to identify cancer risk factors. They provide the foundations for developing novel approaches in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. In addition, the staff of the Cancer Information Service offers information about the widespread disease of cancer for patients, their families, and the general public.
LSL
The Life-Science Lab in Heidelberg (Heidelberger Life-Science Lab, LSL) is associated to the DKFZ and aims at support and guidance of outstanding pupils in maths and natural sciences at high school. The LSL provides an interdisciplinary scientific environment for young, highly motivated and talented teenagers to foster their personal development. The education is based on responsibility, self-commitment and sustainability. Didactic approaches encompass participation in active scientific research, soft-skill acquiring, collaborative learning and interactive work groups.
