aiHealthLab - The Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence in Health

Our vision is to develop integrated intelligence for diagnostics and therapeutics.

Our group's overall research focuses in the emerging field of artificial intelligence applied to health. Artificial intelligence represents methods to process large amounts of data and recognize the patterns within. Health data is generated from a variety of sources and comprises molecular profiles, medical records, digital biomarkers and social media activity.

The mission of our group is to apply artificial intelligence in order to set standards, understand mechanisms and guide decisions in healthcare. Health data is generated in-house or is obtained through collaborations with pharmaceutical companies and hospitals. Our group uses analytics for personalized medicine, drug discovery and development, and support systems in clinics.

Research

The applied projects and research of the aiHealthLab are structured around questions regarding biomedical data and analytics.

Biomedical data 

Produced in-house and accessed through collaborations with hospitals and pharmaceutical industries.

  • MEDICT (data pharma)

    Digital ubiquity has transformed the way biopharmaceutical companies conduct clinical trials.

  • Personalis – Personalized medical platform for patients with autoimmune diseases (data hospital)

    Autoimmune diseases (AID) such as systemic lupus erythematosus and multiple sclerosis are stably increasing in particular in Western countries. Currently,...

  • Prediction of an antigen-specific antibody sub-repertoire (data in-house)

    Immunotherapeutic drugs are important biologics and blockbusters against infectious diseases and cancer.

Analytics

Informatics and data science are used for:

  • pre-processing, benchmarking of bioinformatic tools and reproducibility analysis,
  • development of algorithms and analysis using graph analysis, machine learning and deep learning,
  • integrated software development for real-world data and metadata, clinical decision systems and drug discovery.

Pre-processing

  • Benchmarking immunoinformatic tools

    Antibody repertoires reveal insights into the biology of the adaptive immune system and empower diagnostics and therapeutics.

  • Digital biomarkers in healthcare

    The identification and application of biomarkers in the clinical and medical fields has an enormous impact on society.
