Research
Cancer remains one of the most pressing health challenges of our time, despite all the advancements in knowledge and treatment options. At UCC Hamburg, we bring together scientists and physicians from more than 40 clinics and institutes at the UKE and across the northern region, all of whom are dedicated to tackling this challenge.

Our Research Programs
We are engaged in wide-ranging research activities dedicated to the urgent task of finding answers to important questions concerning the development, diagnosis, therapy, and prevention of cancer. The research conducted by our interdisciplinary teams focuses on the following areas:
- Identification of the fundamental pathobiological factors and processes underlying cancer development and progression
- Development and testing of novel therapy options in preclinical studies
- Testing the efficacy and safety of new therapies in clinical trials
- Epidemiology of cancer
- Development and evaluation of cancer prevention measures and programs
- Psychosocial aspects of cancer patients and their relatives
