Medical image analysis - 25/09/2025 Powerful AI systems using synthetic training data AI systems for image analysis are only as good as the data on which they are trained. The Göppingen-based start-up MIRA Vision has developed a novel method for generating synthetic, photorealistic images, enabling the efficient creation of large, high-quality training datasets. An intuitive platform also allows researchers to evaluate microscopy images with ease.
Fluorescence and smartphones instead of laboratories - 11/09/2025 Mobile blood-analysis system for at home medication monitoring For many medications, regular monitoring of drug concentrations in the blood is necessary to ensure efficacy and safety. Until now, this process has been time-consuming and required laboratory personnel and resources. The Heidelberg based start up QuantiLight has developed a mobile device with innovative sensor technology that enables quick, easy measurements at home or in a doctor's surgery.
Press release - 14/03/2024 Planned NMI spin-off: immuneAdvice successful in start-up competition Does our therapeutic approach work against cancer? The answer to this question can make the difference between life and death - and is still difficult to answer. A team from the NMI Natural and Medical Sciences Institute at the University of Tübingen and the Werner Siemens Imaging Center Tübingen has developed a technique for observing immune cells.
Press release - 05/03/2024 New Center for Synthetic Genomics Applying and developing new technologies for DNA synthesis to pave the way for producing entire artificial genomes – that is the goal of a new interdisciplinary center, 'Center for Synthetic Genomics', that is being established at Heidelberg University, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU).
