The mechanical properties of cells can reveal which diseases a patient is suffering from. Researchers at the Max-Planck-Zentrum für Physik und Medizin in Erlangen are taking advantage of this effect - and revolutionising diagnostics. Their goal: instead of costly examining blood samples in the laboratory, doctors should be able to analyse them quickly and reliably using AI-supported methods.

How should an intelligent assistance system be designed so that as many people as possible use it to improve their health on a daily basis? The collaborative project ‘Erweiterte Gesundheitsintelligenz für persönliche Verhaltensstrategien im Alltag’ (Eghi) (Advanced intelligence in healthcare for personal behavioural strategies in everyday life) which has now started under the leadership of FAU is focusing on this question.

In recognition of her research, FAU doctoral candidate Franziska Schirrmacher has been shortlisted for the AI newcomer of the year award by the German Informatics Society. In an interview, we discussed her research and what she finds so fascinating about artificial intelligence. You can vote for the AI Newcomer 2021 until 7 March 2021.

Chair of Economics, Discrete Optimization, and Mathematics at FAU and Director of Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (IIS) has been appointed by the Bavarian Minister President to the newly-established AI Council. The AI Council’s role is to strengthen the Free State of Bavaria’s position as a leading location for artificial intelligence.

AI and medical technology – two future trends that are inseparably linked to the FAU. No wonder, then, that FAU was chosen for the Digital Health Hub within the framework of the High-Tech Agenda Bavaria (HTA). Bavarian science minister Bernd Sibler visited FAU to discover for himself what can be expected from the Digital Health Hub today and in the future.

FAU proves its excellence in the area of artificial intelligence (AI) once more, winning four new professorships in the second round of the AI competition Hightech Agenda Bavaria. Bavarian Minister of Science Bernd Sibler announced the good news during a press conference on 15 May 2020.

On 1 May 2020, FAU established its own department for research and teaching in artificial intelligence (AI) in health. The University is using the professorships it has received within the framework of the Hightech Agenda Bavaria for strengthening Erlangen’s position as an AI health hub for increasing innovation in universities as the new department will not follow the structure of a Chair.

Can artificial intelligence (AI) provide useful advice to students for their further academic careers? How can universities introduce AI-based support systems that are easily accepted and that support students’ diversity? The FAU research project ‘Individually recommended? – How AI-based advisory sy...

The 21st century poses considerable challenges to mankind, and science has a major role to play in mastering them. Researchers at FAU also have a valuable contribution to make. The University has now launched two Maps focussing on its expertise in two areas which are particularly important for society: the AI Map and the Energy and Climate Map.
