We improve early diagnosis and prevention of diseases of the nervous system using artificial intelligence.
Jonas Beck
Mechanistic models allow to make precise and testable predictions about the underlying biophysical mechanisms that influence neural activity.
Prof. Dr. Philipp Berens
We apply machine learning algorithms to enable and accelerate discoveries in neuroscience and ophthalmology, which will ultimately allow us to diagnose diseases earlier and treat them better.
Dr. Christina Bürger
Working at Hertie AI allows me to contribute towards achieving our vision, fostering innovative research, collaboration, and international recognition in the dynamic field of artificial intelligence.
Sebastian Damrich
Annotated data is a scarce resource. Unsupervised and self-supervised learning techniques enable researchers to discover structure in unlabelled data sets.
Kerol Djoumessi
My best motivation is when I don't understand something or when something goes wrong.
Rita González Márquez
Visualization techniques are able to capture aspects of the data that would not be easily observable with other analysis methods and are therefore great tools for data exploration.
Dr. Ziwei Huang
I read it somewhere... that programming is like incantations: you speak out some arcane words, then magic happens.
Indu Ilanchezian
To harness the power of AI in real world clinical situations, an explanation of their decisions is of utmost importance.
Kyra Kadhim
I enjoy working with people from all different backgrounds and walks of life to tackle fundamental problems in computational neuroscience such as how visual information is processed in biological systems.
Dr. Dmitry Kobak
Unsupervised data exploration plays an important role in many areas of science and becomes increasingly crucial as collected datasets grow in size and complexity.
Dr. Lisa Koch
Trustworthy AI will transform patient care in the coming years. In our research, we make sure that AI-enabled healthcare is safe and provides real benefit to patients and clinicians.
Patrick Köhler
Trustworthy AI requires carefully designed validation procedures that are tailored to the exact use case at hand.
Chiu Yi Lam
Being a member of the rapidly expanding and dynamic research team brings me exciting new challenges and opportunities for professional growth.
Jan Lause
Statistical models of the RNA sequencing process help me to understand why two brain cells show different gene activity. Is the difference just a coincidence, or a sign of new, exciting biology?
Samuel Ofosu Mensah
My research aims to develop cutting-edge deep learning models for disease detection in retina images.
Sarah Müller
Generative models can help us understand and explore the main factors of variation in medical images.
Lisa Schmors
I am interested in the fundamental principles of neural coding in larger networks and neural populations.
Dr. Sacha Sokoloski
Modern datasets are massive, and the models we apply to them are complex and difficult to decipher. Simple, principled theories are not things of the past, but more important than ever.
Sarah Strauß
Data analysis and modeling approaches can facilitate our understanding of biological processes.
Departments & Research Groups
Data Science
We generate knowledge from data in neuroscience and ophthalmology using machine learning algorithms, mechanistic modeling and data visualization. We integrate multimodal data to uncover the principles of how the nervous system works and how diseases can be better diagnosed and treated.
Research Groups
Representation Learning and Data Visualization
We develop machine learning tools for visualizing high-dimensional data such as single cell transcriptomics, clinical images, or scientific texts.
Machine Learning for Safe Medical Diagnostics
We work on robust and interpretable algorithms that enable machine learning algorithms to be applied in the clinical workflow in ophthalmology.
Neuronal Modeling
We gain insights into the healthy and diseased nervous system by developing using computational models.
