Machine learning in biomedicine

The research group AI & Data Science in the business area Bioinformatics focuses on the development of ML algorithms for applications in the pharma- and biotech industry:

  • Reconstruction of biological systems
  • Prioritization of drug targets
  • Precision medicine (the right drug for the right patient)
  • Simulation of synthetic cohorts and studies

Furthermore, since many years ML models are applied for information extraction from biomedical literature, specifically in the research group Software and Scientific Computing in the business area Bioinformatics.
