»Research for a life without cancer« is our mission at the German Cancer Research Center. We investigate how cancer develops, identify cancer risk factors and look for new cancer prevention strategies. We develop new methods with which tumors can be diagnosed more precisely and cancer patients can be treated more successfully. Every contribution counts - whether in research, administration or infrastructure. This is what makes our daily work so meaningful and exciting. The Omics IT and Data Management Core Facility at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) provides comprehensive support for large-scale omics projects, including secure data storage, high-throughput analysis, and tailored software solutions. By collaborating closely with researchers, we ensure robust bioinformatics pipelines and efficient workflows to drive breakthroughs in cancer research. To achieve this we develop custom software for data management and workflow execution.
