Diagnostics

Whenever possible, we strive to offer novel therapy options for pediatric cancer patients for whom standard procedures have failed. Hence, our researchers of the preclinical KiTZ program (head: Prof. Stefan Pfister) examine the tumor tissue of those patients to systematically look for new druggable targets. A central element of these examinations are molecular diagnostics.

How to get to KiTZ

To more efficiently translate new treatment options, the German Cancer Research Center, the University Hospital Heidelberg and the Heidelberg University are aiming at combining the children's cancer research in a new building situated close to the University Children’s Hospital. Until the completion of the new building, KiTZ patients are treated in the Clinic for Pediatric Oncology, Hematology and Immunology at the Center for Child and Adolescent Medicine headed by Prof. Andreas Kulozik.
