The project investigates the precise description of brain organoids through mathematical modeling. The researchers are using AI-supported methods for this purpose. This will optimize biotechnological designs and achieve progress for personalized medicine.
Prof. Dr. Verena Klusmann-Weißkopf, Professor of Health Promotion and Prevention at Furtwangen University of Applied Sciences, systematizes photographically collected images of old age from central life worlds using AI to counter negative stereotypes.
In the interdisciplinary research center, the structural foundations of algorithmic intelligence are to be understood in greater depth, and thus the limits and possibilities of known machine learning methods are to be better grasped.
In pharmaceutical research, the early detection of undesirable or even absent effects of therapeutics represents the greatest hurdle to successful To achieve a breakthrough in the treatment of brain tumors, an AI-based model for the interplay of gene activity and therapy response is being developed. The goal is to predict the effect of drugs and optimize personalized therapies for cancer patients.
Prof. Dr. Christian Friedrich, Professor of Artificial Intelligence in Production is researching the development of intelligent software services that enable robotic systems to independently generate and execute assembly and disassembly plans.
75% of insect mass has been lost in the last 30 years. The BeeVision project team is therefore developing an AI system to monitor pollinator diversity by automatically recognizing the flight patterns of different insect groups.
Dr. Simon Binder conducts research into novel neuroimplants. He studied electrical engineering and information technology at TU Darmstadt and TU Dresden. After completing his doctorate, he spent several years as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Utah.
Prof. Sebastian Schillo, professor at Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences, is researching the interface between mechatronic assemblies and biological systems. In particular, 4D printed components are to be incubated with mycelium in order to realize biointelligent behaviour.
Dr. Nadja Henke studied biology and genome-based systems biology at Bielefeld University and received her PhD in industrial biotechnology in the field of metabolic engineering. During her postdoc, she developed novel bioprocesses for the production of pigments.
The German Artificial Intelligence Competition encourages students with strengths in mathematics, computer science or physics to develop creative solutions to the challenges of the future. The foundation supports this project as the main sponsor.
