PODCAST »NACHGEFORSCHT – DIE LIVESCHALTE INS LABOR« Episode 10: Resource Awareness in Biomedical Image Analysis

Dr Jianxu Chen heads the junior research group AMBIOM - Analysis of Microscopic BIOMedical Images at ISAS. In the first English-language episode of »NACHGEFORSCHT - DIE LIVESCHALTE INS LABOR«, he talks about his path from mathematics to the life sciences and how he wants to make the analysis of biomedical data more sustainable - on many levels.

Valuable Connections: Prof Dr René Zahedi

Prof Dr René Zahedi headed a junior research and later regular research group at ISAS from 2008 to 2017. He now lives, conducts research and teaches in Canada - the research network from his time at ISAS, however, continues to accompany the scientist in his work. Zahedi is one of the colleagues who will provide an insight into the valuable connections within and outside the institute in the following weeks and months.

Using the Russian Doll Principle to Analyse Biological Structures

In the “AI-assisted imaging of large tissues” project, several ISAS research groups are working on combining various microscopic and mass spectrometric methods. Much like looking at a Russian doll, the team looks deeper into the biological structures of a sample with each step.

AI in Healthcare: Why Is it Better to Think Small Instead of Big?

Sustainability is an important topic when it comes to artificial intelligence in health research. A group of international researchers, including from ISAS, has been working on this topic and published a Perspective in Nature Machine Intelligence. In the interview, Prof Dr Yiyu Shi talks about the resource problem and possible solutions.

Valuable Connections: Dr Saskia Venne

Dr Saskia Venne completed her doctorate at ISAS from 2012 to 2016. Today she is a team leader at Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma. In this interview, she is the first to provides an insight into the valuable connections in- and outside the institute that current and former ISAS researchers will be reporting on in ISAS Kompakt over the coming weeks.

Between Progress and Footprint: Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

The potential applications of artificial intelligence in healthcare are constantly increasing. However, with ever better and faster models, the question of sustainability is also coming to the fore. A group of international researchers, including Dr Jianxu Chen from ISAS's AMBIOM group, has been looking into the increased consumption of resources and possible solutions to the impending sustainability problem.

Science Meets Art: Immersion in the Secret World of the Immune System

Diving into the smallest structures of the heart via microscope images? This was possible at the first Dortmund Science Night. "The secret world of the immune system", the immersive 3D experience by storyLab kiU at Fachhochschule Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts and ISAS, gave visitors the chance to experience immune cells up close after a heart attack.

"Book a Scientist": Register Now for a Virtual Chat with Researchers

The format "Book a Scientist" offers those interested in science the opportunity to book individual appointments with researchers within the Leibniz Association. Among them are two ISAS researchers. Their topics are "overzealous" immune cells after a heart attack and animal experiments and their alternatives.

Fascinating Insights: Virtual World in the Classroom

What actually is reality? How do we perceive our environment? And how can augmented reality support researchers in their work? Along with class 3a of the Don Bosco elementary school in Bochum, two ISAS researchers explored these questions.
