It will exploit its findings in the area of cross-organ interactions for the development of translational applications.

HI-TAC is currently in the build up phase and will provide a modern place for 100 scientists to conduct research and work in Heidelberg and Mannheim. Join our team and build up the HI-TAC together with the Max Delbrück Center and the University of Heidelberg.
