Data analysis is a central component of biomedical research. Artificial intelligence (AI) opens up new possibilities for systematically evaluating complex data and making it usable. It is therefore particularly promising to closely link both areas and further anchor AI as an integral part of biomedical research.
Professor Karsten Borgwardt, spokesperson for the new school, explains: "The aim of the new school is to establish a graduate program that produces advanced AI methods for basic research in the life sciences and at the same time opens up perspectives for later translational applications. I am very much looking forward to deepening scientific collaborations with experts at other non-university research institutions and universities within the framework of the School and to jointly training promising doctoral students. Our network brings together research institutes and universities from eleven federal states - in line with the motto of the Max Planck Schools, which is to pool scientific excellence across regional and institutional boundaries."
