Oncology & Onco-Immunology

Vision Statement

With its focus on oncological and immunological research, the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Tübingen has outstanding expertise in the field of cancer research that extends far beyond the borders of Tübingen. This is demonstrated not least by the numerous national and international institutes and centers that have established themselves at the location over the years. The Cluster of Excellence "Image-Guided and Functionally Instructed Tumor Therapies" (iFIT), the M3 Research Center, the Comprehensive Cancer Center Tübingen-Stuttgart (CCC-TS) and the National Center for Tumor Diseases SouthWest (NCT-SüdWest) are excellent examples of how interdisciplinarity pays off, especially between the fields of oncology and immunology. Particularly in the sections of preclinical imaging, academic drug development, senescence research and peptide-based immunotherapies, the site can draw on exceptional expert knowledge to master the challenges of the future in the fields of oncology and onco-immunology.
