He was the founder and director of the Biophysics Department at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt (Germany).

Particle therapy had already been performed in US and Japan using protons, carbon, and other light ions.

Gerhard Kraft introduced it in Europe, with two significant innovations: raster scanning and biological treatment planning.

Since 1981 he started his work on heavy-ion radiobiology and radiotherapy at GSI, and the treatment room was completed in 1997.

1997

Under his direction, 440 patients were treated from 1997 to 2008 at GSI.

Therapy now continues at the Heidelberger Ionenstrahl-Therapiezentrum using the system introduced at GSI.
