Prof. Dr. med. Georg Seifert

Prof. Dr. med. Georg Seifert is an internationally renowned pediatric oncologist and a pioneer in integrative medicine. As a senior physician at Charité University Hospital Berlin, he holds Europe’s first dedicated professorship for integrative medicine in pediatrics, where he bridges the gap between high-tech conventional oncology and evidence-based complementary therapies. His clinical focus is the holistic treatment of children and adolescents with cancer, aiming not only for survival but for a high quality of life through the integration of nutritional medicine, mind-body interventions, and phytotherapy. Under his leadership as director of the Charité Competence Center for Traditional and Integrative Medicine (CCCTIM), Prof. Seifert has transformed the approach to pediatric care by focusing on salutogenesis, the study of the origins of health, rather than just the origins of disease. His academic work is vast, with peer-reviewed publications and several textbooks, including the influential Healthy from the Start. He is a global advocate for sustainable healthcare, serving as an expert for the World Health Organization and maintaining a close academic partnership with the University of São Paulo. His career is dedicated to providing scientific legitimacy to traditional healing methods, ensuring they are safely and effectively applied within the modern medical landscape.
