Understanding the eye through data — from single synapses to population-scale disease.
Our team members
Our team combines expertise in machine learning, biophysical modeling, and clinical data analysis with deep domain knowledge in neuroscience and ophthalmology. We are embedded in Tübingen's rich ecosystem for machine learning research, with graduate students affiliated with the IMPRS for Intelligent Systems, the GTC Neuroscience and the ELLIS PhD program. We collaborate closely with the Tübingen AI Center, the Center for Digital Health, the Department of Ophthalmology, experimental neuroscience labs, and international partners including AIMS RIC, Rwanda and The MRC Unit The Gambia.
