Privacy-preserving AI in systems medicine with federated learning

Join the Tech Lunch Talk online with Prof. Dr. Jan Baumbach!

This talk will cover a short intro to the idea of systems medicine, what AI/ML has to do with that, why privacy matters, and how the Institute for Computational Systems Biology at the University of Hamburg overcomes the privacy barrier with e.g. federated learning. Prof. Dr. Jan Baumbach will also outline some ideas for future business concepts in the field.

Prof. Dr. Jan Baumbach is chairing the Computational Systems Biology lab at the University of Hamburg since January 2021. In part time, he is also leading the Computational BioMedicine group at the University of Southern Denmark (since October 2012). Before, he has been chair of Experimental Bioinformatics at the Technical University of Munich, Junior Research group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics and postdoctoral fellow at the University of California at Berkeley in the Algorithms Group of Richard Karp. He received a doctoral degree from Bielefeld University where he worked in the Genome Informatics group of Jens Stoye and the Algorithms and Statistics for Systems Biology group of Sven Rahmann.
