Research summary

Our goal is to develop AI methods that can drive novel biomedical discoveries. Our research focuses on developing AI methods for real-world settings that drive new frontier of biomedical research. At the same time, biomedical challenges provide unique insights that inspire us to develop broadly applicable AI methods, leading to innovative solutions that advance AI research. We design AI methods that have the ability to generalize to novel scenarios that have not been seen during model training and apply them to drive new discoveries from complex, heterogeneous and high-dimensional biomedical datasets. Our approach to research is highly interdisciplinary and our research bridges traditional disciplinary boundaries through collaborations with labs from other disciplines.

We are a team led by Prof. Maria Brbić at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL). We are part of the School of Computer and Communication Sciences, School of Life Sciences, Institute of Bioengineering and EPFL AI Center.
