Lower Saxony's Science Minister Falko Mohrs and the Chairman of the Volkswagen Foundation Dr. Georg Schütte visited the Lower Saxony Center for Artificial Intelligence and Causal Methods in Medicine (CAIMed) at Hannover Medical School. The focus was on innovative approaches to how artificial intelligence can improve diagnostics and care.

Dr. Maximilian Schieck (Hannover Unified Biobank) and Dr. Marco Fisichella (L3S) presented the FEDCOV project, which is developing federated machine learning methods for post-acute infectious diseases such as Long-COVID and ME/CFS. The Hannover Unified Biobank is a central resource here: with its access to high-quality biosamples, patient data and omics data, it creates the basis for training clinically relevant AI models and transferring them to healthcare.
