Research Focus
My research interest is motivated by the tremendous potential impact of making Deep Learning-based computer vision applicable in everyday settings in clinical and pre-clinical research. This entails developing deep convolutional networks for detection, localization, and segmentation tasks in medical images of various modalities. Ensuring applicability in everyday settings typically requires elaborate strategies to deal with limited availability of annotated data, for instance making use of Transfer Learning or Data Augmentation.
I cooperate with Ali Ertürk's Lab at the Helmholtz Center Munich where I am leading the Artificial Intelligence Group. This work comprises research questions like automatic image segmentation and classification problems for general 3D anatomy, but also specific questions in the fields of stroke, dementia, and cancer.

DeepMACT - Deep learning based Metastasis Analysis in Cleared Tissue

The DeepMACT pipeline is an end-to-end procedure that enables highly automated detection and characterization of tumor micro-metastasis in large volumetric scans of whole cleared mice. This pipeline comprises two core technologies: DISCO tissue clearing and deep learning. For details, please refer to web resources and the article published in Cell (2019)

AIMOS - AI-based Mouse Organ Segmentation

The AIMOS pipeline is an end-to-end procedure that enables fully automated segmentation of major organs (brain, lungs, heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, bladder, stomach, intestine) and the skeleton in large volumetric scans of whole mice. This method is independent of the imaging modality (we implemented it for light-sheet microscopy, native micro-CT, and contrast-enhanced micro-CT). In addition to the 3D segmentations for each organ, AIMOS can also provide a heatmap highlighting ambiguous image regions, allowing to localize and quantify inherent uncertainty. Besides the code and the pre-trained models, we also provide manually labeled datasets. For details, please refer to web resources and the article published in Nature Communications (2020)

Projects for students

We are inviting applications for several exciting research opportunities for Master students with our group. Please also feel free to reach out if you are interested in a Bachelor thesis, research project, etc. The projects are intended for students in Informatics, Electrical Engineering, or related fields. Please refer to the project descriptions below for more detailed information. Unfortunately, I cannot offer any new projects. If you are interested in student projects, please reach out to my IBBM colleagues directly.

We expect all students to have:
  • Prior theoretical knowledge on deep learning
