Translational research with immediate impact: A group around Dr. Sören Lukassen and colleagues developed an AI model that can quickly and reliably detect the epigenetic finger print of tumors in tissue samples or from body fluids. With this a diagnosis is possible without a biopsy, which can be risky e.g. with a brain tumor.
On the occasion of the European Month of Diversity, we are taking a stand for openness and inclusivity in science. For us, equal opportunities and diversity are more than just words- they are fundamental requirements for innovation and high- quality research.
The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and Wissenschaftsrat (WR) announced that the Excellence Cluster NeuroCure, which has operated since 2007, can continue its work. NeuroCure aims to improve our understanding of neurological and psychiatric diseases and works to translate results into therapies (German-language).
Joining 54 other biomedical and health scientists, Prof. Claudia Langenberg, head of the group for Computational Medicine, receives the fellowship for the Academy of Medical Sciences for her excellent work in public health and precision medicine.
In cooperation with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), the Maison Heinrich Heine (MHH) and with the support of the German embassies, the exhibition ‘Berlin - Capital of Women Scientists’ travelled to Paris and Brussels.
