G. Reifenberger

Professor G. Reifenberger is a prominent neuropathologist at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg, specializing in central nervous system tumors, particularly gliomas and ependymomas. He holds a faculty position within the Faculty of Medicine and works in the Department of Neuropathology, where he contributes significantly to molecular tumor classification and diagnostic criteria development.

His research interests focus on neuro-oncology, brain tumors, gliomas, molecular classification of CNS tumors, ependymomas, and diffuse hemispheric glioma. Professor Reifenberger is particularly known for his work on molecular diagnostics and tumor classification systems that inform clinical practice.

Recent publications demonstrate his leadership in developing diagnostic criteria for IDH- and H3-wildtype diffuse high-grade gliomas and posterior fossa ependymal tumors through the cIMPACT-NOW consortium. His research on anatomic staging of H3 G34-mutant diffuse hemispheric glioma has provided valuable prognostic insights for this rare tumor type.

Professor Reifenberger collaborates extensively with international researchers in the field of neuro-oncology, contributing to major advancements in CNS tumor classification that directly impact patient care and treatment protocols.
