About Us
The Faculty of Medicine is one of the four founding faculties of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen. With its non-clinical facilities as well as its research and teaching area corresponding to the organisational units of the University Hospital, it is one of the largest medical training and research institutions in Baden-Württemberg.
About the Department of Data Science, Hertie AI
Funded by the Hertie Foundation, the Hertie Institute for AI in Brain Health, part of the Medical Faculty of the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen, Germany, focuses on the development of machine learning algorithms to improve the understanding, early detection and treatment of diseases of the nervous system. We are interested in using machine learning and data science approaches to better understand the healthy and diseased eye and to improve the diagnosis of ophthalmological diseases. We are uniquely positioned at the intersection of machine learning and medical research in Tübingen.
As a member of the Cluster of Excellence \“Machine Learning for Science\“ and the Tübingen AI Center, we are part of the vibrant machine learning ecosystem in the Tübingen area. Our location at the University Hospital of Tübingen allows us to maintain strong clinical collaborations. Our group has diverse backgrounds and origins and includes more than 10 different nationalities.
