  • The Prevention, Detection and Treatment of Cancer Are Preeminent Goals in Health Policy
    No. 14 April 2, 2014 (Koh) 50 years of research for life without cancer "The prevention, detection and treatment of cancer are preeminent goals in health policy. The DKFZ is the flagship of cancer research in Germany. It has brought forward the development of new approaches in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The DKFZ is an institution that, ever since its inception, has promoted creativity and helped innovative ideas flourish. I congratulate the DKFZ with all its employees on these accomplishments." These were the opening words of the Federal Minister of Education and Research, Prof. Dr. Johanna Wanka, in her welcome address at a press conference held in Berlin on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ). "The German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), founded in 1964 in Heidelberg as a national research institute, has seen astonishing changes over those 50 years and has evolved into an internationally renowned center of high-end research," said Otmar Wiestler, Chairman of the Management Board and Scientific Director of DKFZ. From the very beginning, the Center, which was initially not linked to clinics, has had a double mission: to conduct research on the basic biological mechanisms of cancer and translate the results of its research into enhanced methods for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. While the initial years were clearly focused on basic research, the DKFZ has gone on to achieve amazing accomplishments in the translation of its research findings into clinical applications. A crucial factor that has facilitated this development was the foundation of the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) Heidelberg in collaboration with Heidelberg University Hospitals and German Cancer Aid (Deutsche Krebshilfe).

  • Ethics in Science and Good Scientific Practice
    Ethics in Science and Good Scientific Practice Hans-Joachim Pflüger, Freie Universität Berlin, Institut für Biologie, Neurobiologie, [email protected] Ulm, 15 January 2019 Ethics in Science and Good Scientific Practice: topics covered 1 Why Ethics and Good Scientific Practice? 2 Is it a Problem? * Fraud * Retracted publications * Most affected journals and countries * Affected research fields 3 Good Scientific Practice * Examples of misconduct 4 Publishing: Predatory Journals 1 Georg W. Kreutzberg, a former MPI director, wrote in his article: The Rules of Good Science, EMBO reports, vol. 5, 330-332, 2004: “We scientists think that we enjoy the highest degree of freedom in our work. Many societies have also accepted the notion that research is done best when unhindered, and have included in their constitutions the freedom of science as a basic human right. Science and scientists have been entrusted to set up their own rules, based on trust, respect and the welfare of society. The general public shares this idealistic view of how research is done and does little to interfere with its freedom and its self-imposed rules“. In 2018/19 it has to be added, that this view, and science in general, is challenged by recent political developments (populist parties and politicians, increasing divisions in societies) and fundamentalists of all religions. 1 Ethics in Science: 3 key sentences The essence of science is that a scientist at the best of his knowledge carries out experiments by means of currently available techniques which yield results, facts, that can be tested and repeated and under the same experimental conditions must have the same outcome.
