Research Areas

The Department Artificial Intelligence in Biomedical Engineering (AIBE) was established as part of the Hightech Agenda Bayern. The traditional chair structure has been abandoned in order to maximize internal exchange and cooperation. Artificial Intelligence research at AIBE is centered around the study and development of intelligent systems in medicine. Our research focuses on theoretical foundations as well as applications for future healthcare. AIBE’s researchers possess a robust foundation not just in artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer science, and data science, but also in applying these concepts to biomedical engineering.

Our research is dedicated to improving the effectiveness and reducing side effects of medical imaging and sensing technologies. We develop novel diagnostic biomarkers, imaging methodologies, and automated image analysis techniques for early detection of disease and optimal treatment.

We advance methodological knowledge in the fields of biostatistics, epidemiology, public health, disease phenotyping, medical informatics, and bioinformatics. Our aim is to contribute novel insights from observational health data to provide clinically actionable information for individual patients and to inform health policy on population level.
