STRUC­TURES members Carsten Rother and Ullrich Köthe participate in the Eu­ro­pean Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems.

The great potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and ma­chine learning for the life sciences – from basic re­search in biology to medical applications – has to date largely been neglected.
To leverage that potential in future, researchers from Hei­del­berg Uni­ver­si­ty, the German Cancer Re­search Center, and the Eu­ro­pean Molecular Biology Laboratory have founded a new re­search unit. It aims to support AI re­search in the life sciences and forge international links with activities in Hei­del­berg. The unit is part of the Eu­ro­pean Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS). ELLIS Life Hei­del­berg will initially be funded by the founding institutions for five years.
