Gerhard Kraft (29 October 1941 – 18 March 2023) was a German physicist, best known for introducing heavy ion cancer therapy in Europe.

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.

Gerhard Kraft was born on 29 October 1941 in Heidelberg.

He studied Physics in Heidelberg and Cologne.

Kraft got his PhD at the University of Cologne with a study of energy loss of carbon ions in matter.

After a two year fellowship at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (Berkeley, CA, US) under the supervision of Cornelius A. Tobias, he went back to Germany with the idea of using high-energy carbon ions to cure cancer.

1981

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.
