This year’s focus: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE
AI and Basic Medical Research
Chair: Dr. Roland Schwarz, Group Leader Evolutionary and Cancer Genomics, Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology (BIMSB), Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association (MDC) – “With genetic sequencing, single cell analysis or the investigation of metabolic processes, the modern life sciences generate incredible amounts of data every day: Artificial intelligence helps to gain knowledge from this data.”
AI and Decision Making in Medicine
Chair: Prof. Petra Ritter, Johanna Quandt Professor for Brain Simulation, Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin – “What are the latest achievements for AI in clinical decision making? We will cover recent developments: from novel algorithms to processing sensitive data and related ethical and legal questions.”
AI and SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
Chair: Prof. Sylvia Thun, Director Core Unit eHealth and Interoperability (CEI), Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin – “AI can build an intelligent platform for monitoring and prediction of the spread of this virus. Beside that AI can help to fight against COVID-19 by early detection and diagnosis of the infection, delivering information about drug research, pharmacologic treatment, vaccines development and prevention of the disease. How can your algorithm overcome the COVID crisis?”
