🔥Job alert🔥 Interested in working on medical foundation models against cancer? As a PhD student or Postdoc? Then apply and join our enthusiastic diverse team: dkfz.de/en/imsy/vacanc… Our philosophy: dkfz.de/en/imsy/team-p… @ellislifehd @DataScienceDKFZ @helmholtz_image

🚨so excited about our new paper: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… The editors weren’t thrilled about using “palm reading” in the title (understandably 😉), but that’s what we’re doing: capturing hyperspectral images of ICU patients’ palms to diagnose sepsis using deep learning. 1/n

Had a great time at @IPCAI_conf in Berlin last week! @chjbender and I presented our work from the @DKFZ_IMSY_lab in collaboration with FAU, where we demonstrate how shortcut learning can lead to unreliable and biased models. 🔗 Read the paper: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

🚀 News from @IPCAI_conf 2025! Our work on hyperspectral image synthesis was selected for a long oral presentation and as an award candidate. Congratulations to Viet Tran Ba and Marco Hübner from @DKFZ_IMSY_lab for their contributions! 🔗 Read the paper: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Congratulations to @Marcel_M_Knopp et al. on the acceptance! Great collaboration with FAU 👇🏻 3/3

Beyond excited to welcome superstar @AziziShekoofeh, research lead at Google DeepMind, in Heidelberg next week. The talk will not be recorded, so please join on-site or via Zoom: dkfz.de/en/datascience…

#SYMIC Christmas symposium from @mic_dkfz and @DKFZ_IMSY_lab. Nerdy AI anecdote: Even in the cookie contest we had a (strong) baseline cookie.

Thanks to all those who were involved in the nomination and selection of our work! Also thanks to @leo_ayala01 and @maikerees for providing the live demo (teaser below), to the funders @ERC_Research @NCT_HD @DKFZ and the organizers of the great Falling Walls 2024 event 🙏

Was really fun to participate in the CVS challenge organized by an awesome team including@CammaLab @JenniferEckhoff @Oz_Meireles @p_masca @Laparoscopes 🙏 Looking forward to next year🙌🏻

🔥#MICCAI2024 teaser 5🔥 Interested in @ERC_Research funding? @lena_maierhein will share her experience in acquiring an ERC Starting and Consolidator grant. Join the session now in Diamant!

#SYMIC goes Africa🇲🇦🙌🏻! Excited to attend #MICCAI2024 in BEAUTIFUL Morocco with our awesome and fun team #SYMIC = @mic_dkfz + @DKFZ_IMSY_lab + DKFZ-IML

🔥#MICCAI2024 Teaser #4🔥 @lena_maierhein will give a keynote at the @SashimiWorkshop. She will talk about various opportunities to use synthetic data in the entire image analysis pipeline - with a specific focus on failures and lessons learnt.

🔥#MICCAI2024 Teaser 3🔥 @lena_maierhein will give a keynote on data-centric AI. NEW topics: - #VLM benchmarking - Data-centric methods to address shifts - how to democratize knowledge on optimal training pipelines ⏰ Oct 10th 4pm, DEMI workshop demi-workshop.github.io

🙌We are beyond excited to have the great @lena_maierhein as our keynote speaker at SASHIMI 2024! 🙌 #MICCAI2024 Keynote title: "Medical Image Synthesis for Data-Centric AI: Lessons Learnt" ✨ Come join at 13:30! ✨ More info: 2024.sashimi-workshop.org/keynote/

Delighted to welcome #SurgicalDataScience super star @TGrantcharovMD in our @NCT_HD data science seminar / @ellislifehd / heidelberg.ai event on Wednesday 11:30. As always, you can also join via Zoom: dkfz-de.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

I was sooooo surprised and honored when I received the phone call from the minister of science @Olschowski 🙏. Thanks to the jury, my great @DKFZ_IMSY_lab team, our collaborators @uniklinik_hd and beyond and funding from @ERC_Research, @NCT_HD and @helmholtz_en 🙏

Fresh off the press @SpringerNature: Intraoperative renal perfusion can be reliably evaluated using Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) and Machine Learning (ML). A promising approach to cover diagnostic gaps during oncological kidney surgery and kidney transplantation.…
