HZDR Research Sites
In addition to its headquarters in Dresden (link to the directions page), the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf has four other research sites. Researchers of the HZDR Institute of Radiooncology also work at the OncoRay Center, a site at the University Hospital Dresden.
The Helmholtz Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology was founded in 2011, belongs to Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf and is cooperating closely with TU Bergakademie Freiberg.
Directors: Dr. Jens Gutzmer (PhD ZA) | Prof. Markus Reuter
Scientists in Freiberg and Dresden carry out research on new technologies for exploration, extraction and exploitation of mineral and metal-containing raw materials.

The Research Site Leipzig is operated by scientists working at the Institutes of Resource Ecology and Radiopharmaceutical Cancer Research.
Contact: Prof. Peter Brust | PD Dr. Cornelius Fischer
The HZDR scientists in Leipzig investigate the transport of (toxic) substances in geological systems and also neurotracers for diagnosing and treating cancer-related cognitive defects.

The HZDR is currently installing the extreme lab HIBEF at the European XFEL in Schenefeld near Hamburg.
Contact: PD Dr. Toma Toncian
The goal is that, starting in 2019, the HIBEF infrastructures at the High-Energy Density Science Instrument (HED) will be used to conduct experiments under extreme conditions of high pressures, temperatures, or electromagnetic fields. Head of the international user consortia is Prof. Thomas Cowan, Director at the HZDR Institute of Radiation Physics.
