Prof. Friedrich Simmel on the new BioSysteM Cluster of Excellence

"Thinking of biology as technology"

The BioSysteM Cluster of Excellence aims to develop self-organizing molecular and cellular systems with programmable, life-like properties. The focus ranges from biomolecular machines for biosynthesis and intelligent materials to biomedical microrobots and pattern-based therapeutics to the control of cell differentiation and organ formation as the basis for a new generation of revolutionary applications in biomedicine. Spokesperson Prof. Friedrich Simmel explains in an interview why the involvement of society is crucial in this context.

European support for outstanding research in computer science, mathematics and medicine

Three TUM researchers awarded ERC Advanced Grants

Could errors in eliminating certain immune cells lead to Alzheimer’s disease? Can new algorithms improve learning-based pricing agents – for example, in online retail? Can scientific computations be significantly optimized through novel approaches? These are the questions driving three research projects at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), each of which has received an Advanced Grant from the European Research Council (ERC).

New method for labeling T cells in immunotherapy

Tracking immune cells inside the body

In modern immunotherapy, modified immune cells are introduced into the body to attack tumors and other targets. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a method for tracking these cells in the body. This new approach could deepen our understanding of cellular therapies and help make future treatments safer.

Neural Networks benefit from biological data

How artificial intelligence can learn from mice

The ability to precisely predict movements is essential not only for humans and animals, but also for many AI applications — from autonomous driving to robotics. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now discovered that artificial neural networks can perform this task better when trained with biological data from early visual system development.

Two months in the emergency room of Africa’s largest hospital

Clinical elective in an emergency zone

Dominik Matyjaszczyk, a 10th-semester medical student at TUM, has encountered a reality that has shown him what it means to push his limits – both professionally and personally. For his clinical elective, he was at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Johannesburg – a place where violence and hardship shape daily life in a way one might expect in crisis zones. In this interview, he shares his formative experiences.
