Members
UNITE brings together physician-scientists and scientists from the Heidelberg University Hospital, the University Hospital Mannheim, the German Cancer Research Center and the Hochschule Mannheim. By combining the complementary research strengths and technological prowess of all participating principle investigators, UNITE will generate considerable added value towards precision neurooncology.
In total, 31 physician-scientists and scientists from the Heidelberg and Mannheim campus provide complementary expertise for the proposed translational focus of the UNITE research program. This will enable practice changes by translating basic research findings into clinical application. Importantly, the integration of 13 junior work package leaders highlights the career development aspect of the initiative.
