We are a division at the Department of Health Services Research founded in December 2021 focusing on Artificial Intelligence for Health.

Our research interests are twofold: On the one hand, they cover self-supervised/label-efficient learning and explainability/trustworthiness of AI algorithms as cross-sectional topics, and on the other hand they include various applications of machine learning, mostly in the biomedical domain.

Feel free to reach out if you are looking for BSc/MSc thesis topics in the domain of self-supervised learning, explainable AI and/or biomedical applications of machine learning.

In teaching, the division is responsible for a wide range of courses covering the fundamentals of machine learning and its applications in biomedicine. Nils Strodthoff is the chair of the MSc Data Science and Machine Learning program, which has been offered since the winter semester 2025/2026.
