Well-trained specialists are an important prerequisite for the success of medical informatics. To strengthen the next generation of scientists, a total of 21 junior research groups are currently being funded throughout Germany as part of the Medical Informatics Initiative.
In the current episode of the podcast “Digitalization of Medicine”, two heads of junior research groups from our consortium were guests:
- Dr. Zaynab Hammoud heads the junior research group “Modular Knowledge- and Data-driven Molecular Tumor Board” (MoMoTuBo) at the University of Augsburg.
- Luise Modersohn is head of the junior research group “Klinische Textanalytik: Methods for NLP on German Texts” (De.xt) at the Klinikum rechts der Isar of the Technical University of Munich.
The episode deals with the important topics that the junior research groups are working on. Zaynab Hammoud’s group focuses on optimizing the processes of a molecular tumor board through software solutions, while Luise Modersohn’s group is working on making medical texts readable for computers using Natural Language Processing (NLP).
