Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY)
DESY Hamburg uses large-scale particle accelerators to research the structure of matter and so contributes to answering the fundamental questions of physics. Synchrotron rays - a special light - make it possible to examine many fields of the natural sciences.
Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, Heidelberg (DKFZ)
The German Cancer Research Centre in Heidelberg is working to identify and understand the causes of cancer diseases and to improve treatments and therapies.
Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR)
The German Aerospace Centre in Cologne is Germany's national research centre for research and technology development in the field on aerospace and transport research.
Deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen (DZNE)
Since 30th April 2009 new official member of the Helmholtz Association the Deutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen DZNE (German Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases) develops new preventative measures and therapy procedures for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson`s disease and dementias.
