On Friday, July 4, 2025, representatives from ETH Zurich, University Hospital Zurich, Max Planck Institute, SLK Clinics Heilbronn (Department of Internal Medicine III), MOLIT Institute, and the Faculty of Computer Science of HHN (GECKO Institute) gathered at the Bildungscampus for a strategic exchange.
Ongoing projects in the field of personalized medicine and related research areas were presented and discussed. The joint focus—besides improving oncological care and developing model systems for disease modeling—included interoperability, data quality, and the generation of evidence in AI- and data-driven research.
The use of multimodal models aims to leverage artificial intelligence to process large volumes of data efficiently and effectively. However, the full potential can only be realized when combined with insights from cell and wet-lab biology—an area where the I³ building, with its strategic location and laboratory facilities, is expected to play a key role in the region.
