HI-TRON/DKFZ
The Helmholtz Institute for Translational Oncology Mainz (HI-TRON Mainz) is a collaborative partnership of the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) with the University Medical Center Mainz (UMC), Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), and their affiliated Research Institute for Translational Oncology (TRON gGmbH).
Our goal is to unite the internationally renowned expertise of our Mainz partners in immunotherapy with DKFZ's comprehensive spectrum of cutting-edge cancer research. In doing so, we aim to bridge the gap between laboratory discovery and clinical application to bring innovative therapies to patients.
