Aims
How can we manage to enable translational research in precision oncology?
The MSNZ answer is: Individual, flexible, family-friendly!
- The Mildred Scheel Early Career Center Dresden offers individual career paths in precision oncology to motivated scientists.
- The program will create framework conditions for the establishment of excellent research groups in the field of cancer research.
- Our aim is to enable clinician scientists to combine clinical work, active research and family by designing flexible (part-time) solutions and further support our research group leaders on their way to habilitation or professorship.
- The program is also aimed at medical scientists with an oncological research profile who can gain an even stronger connection to the clinical aspect through networking with their clinical colleagues.
- The formation of tandems will make it possible to answer clinically relevant questions as quickly as possible by optimally combining the clinical with the scientific expertise.
- Appropriate mentoring, a wide-ranging curriculum and campus-wide networking will contribute to the optimal integration of the fellows into the Dresden research landscape. We would also like to promote the interaction of our fellows with research-based pharmaceutical companies and technology providers in order to work together on translational aspects and their effective implementation.
- In the longer term, we want to imbed the MSNZ structures within the Dresden campus through successful publications, patents and third party funding acquired by the fellows themselves.
- Together with the other German MSNZs and the German Cancer Aid, we want to create a network of translational young scientists in the field of oncology through joint structures and events.
For translational research. For patients.
