Overview

It is the task of this Functional and Structural Genomics Program from German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg to analyze the genome, i.e., the complete set of genes, in order to lay the foundation for developing new diagnostic and treatment methods.

This involves mapping the genome, localizing genes within the genetic material, and investigating the functions of cancer-relevant genomic areas.

Features

The vast amounts of data accumulated in the process are being captured and evaluated using bioinformatic methods.

By combining approaches from mathematics, statistics, physics, and computer sciences with computer-assisted simulation techniques, the theoretical groups of the Research Program are bridging the gap to experimental research.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

The methods developed within the Research Program are being directly utilized in many areas within collaborations with numerous divisions of the Center: in molecular and genomic investigations of the structure of the genetic material, cancer documentation, medical imaging, and biostatistical evaluations of experimental and clinical data.
