Artificial intelligence in biomedicine

A key to analyzing millions of individual cells

Our bodies are made up of around 75 billion cells. But what function does each individual cell perform and how greatly do a healthy person’s cells differ from those of someone with a disease? To draw conclusions, enormous quantities of data must be analyzed and interpreted. For this purpose, machine learning methods are applied. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Helmholtz Munich have now tested self-supervised learning as a promising approach for testing 20 million cells or more.

Investment in Germany's technological sovereignty

Battery start-up incubator launches at TUM

To strengthen Germany's technological sovereignty in the field of battery technologies, the Battery Start-up Incubator (BaStI) is being established at TUM. Funded with 3.3 million euros by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), BaStl, as an integral part of the TUM Venture Labs, will support and advise start-up applicants from all over Germany in the first phase. The aim is to accelerate the market entry of new battery technologies from research and thus reduce dependence on imports.

Majority of survey respondents have experienced online attacks

Political commitment is discouraged by digital violence

The majority of politically active individuals experience digital violence. The results of a study conducted by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in cooperation with the human rights organization HateAid show that around two thirds of affected women have experienced sexualized online attacks. Around one third of the respondents who experienced online aggression were also physically attacked. More than half changed their behavior – from self-restrictions on communications to the intention of abandoning their political involvement.

Resources on the Moon: an interview with Prof. Philipp Reiss

"Oxygen and water production on the Moon in the next 10 years"

The Moon has always fascinated mankind - and science too. Numerous space agencies are planning new exploration missions. NASA is launching a rocket tomorrow (15.01.2025) with lunar landers as part of the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program. Philipp Reiss, Professor of Lunar and Planetary Exploration at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), explains why, more than 50 years after the last manned mission to the Moon, our Earth satellite has once again become the focus of space research.

Food security

"120,000 years of plant evolution in just a few days"

Facing a growing world population, new technology is needed to ensure food security. Land and nutrients are limited and, therefore, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are investigating how crop yields can be increased through continuous directed evolution. Project leader Dr. Ulschan Bathe explains the research goals, the expected effects on food security, and the role of the TUM campus in Weihenstephan.
