Researchers from the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) and the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, in collaboration with international colleagues, published a paper in Nature Genetics on a method to detect evolutionary conserved enhancers that diverged so much that their DNA sequences do not match anymore. In an interview, Dr.…
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.
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.
Do you have an innovative idea or questions concerning IP and patents? The Idea Office is a service offered by Charité BIH Innovation, the joint technology transfer of Charité and the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH). It has been organized by Bettina Otto and Thomas Marek Wallach since 2022 and was supported as part of the project Detect & Dispatch…
A team around Mine Koprulu and Claudia Langenberg at the BIH and Queen Mary University of London’s Precision Healthcare University Research Institute (PHURI) shed new light the underlying biological mechanisms which cause differences in health risks, symptoms and outcomes between males and females.
Researchers at the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin have developed a customized single-cell approach that enables precision diagnostics in myelodysplastic neoplasia. In an interview, Dr. Samantha Praktiknjo, head of the study and last author of the publication, talks about her research results.
In order to create health data spaces that are in the interests of citizens, the European Health Data Alliance e.V. was founded at the end of 2023. We interviewed its chairman of the board Prof. Roland Eils, founding director of the Center of Digital Health.
Improving healthcare, relieving the burden on medical professionals and advancing research in Germany: These are the goals of the three-year research project “FHIR-Starter” starting in February 2025. The project focuses on the development of a software service that is able to automatically structure medical data using large language models (LLMs).…
