There are many Universities - and there is Heidelberg ...

	Dating back to 1386 the Ruperto-Carola University of Heidelberg [1] is not only Germany's oldest University [2, 3], but - associated with numerous Nobel Laureates [4] - it is also one of Europe's prestigious places for natural, life and medical sciences [5]. For students, however, Heidelberg is not only the starting ground for a scientific career, it also hosts a fountain for inter-cultural relations and friendships [6].

Bioquant

	Left you can get an impression of where we work. You could find us in the front building at the far left end of the picture... The building hosts research groups of the BIOQUANT (Quantitative Analysis of Molecular and Cellular Biological Systems) network and is situated on the campus of the university of Heidelberg.

DKFZ

	The German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) [1] has just recently been rated by an international panel as one of the leading cancer research institutes - confirmed at the same time by the award with the Medicine Nobel Prize to Professor zur Hausen, who discovered the Papilloma virus as agent for cervical cancer.

BioRegio Rhein-Neckar

The Rhein-Neckar area - which spans from Mannheim to Heidelberg (west-east) and from Darmstadt to Karlsruhe (north-south) has witnessed an enormous increase in biotechnological activities over the last decade. This development has been acknowledged several times by the German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF), which lead to the name of the BioRegio Rhein-Neckar. On the academic side the Technical University of Karlsruhe and Darmstadt, the Business schools University of Mannheim, and the life-science based University of Heidelberg form a geographical rhombe that merges all competences for sustainable growth. Industrial heavy-weights in chemistry (BASF AG in Mannheim), pharmacy (Merck AG in Darmstadt), and software development (SAP AG in Walldorf) strengthen the region in its challenging ambitions. The creation of the technology park in Heidelberg allows start-up companies in biotechnology to tightly cooperate with the neighboring university, the DKFZ and the European Laboratory of Molecular Biology (EMBL).
