HI-STEM cooperates with several institutions and scientists on a regional, local and internationals scale. Below listed are major collaboration partners:
The German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) is the largest biomedical research institution in Germany. It has a staff of nearly 3000 members. The HI-STEM lab is located within the DKFZ's main building. DKFZ serves as one of the two shareholders of HI-STEM.
Since all members of HI-STEM are also affiliated with the DKFZ, a multitude ofcollaborations are active with other groups at the DKFZ.
