NCT Berlin

The National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT) Berlin is a significant expansion of the Charité Comprehensive Cancer Center as a result of close cooperation between three outstanding institutions: Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) and the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association. The proven partnership stands for comprehensive care for cancer patients and for a unique combination of clinical and scientific cancer research. The NCT Berlin will further intensify Berlin's research activities on single-cell analysis, immunotherapies, medical data science and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and initiate early patient-specific, personalized clinical trials.

 

Main research areas

At the NCT Berlin, physicians and researchers rely on the comprehensive approach of cell-based systems medicine. State-of-the-art single-cell technologies and data science methods support the development of customized therapies and digital health solutions. In clinical trials, patients gain access to innovative diagnostics and the latest personalized therapies, such as cellular immunotherapies. Their views on the success of treatment are incorporated into further clinical trials.
