CARTESIAN is a new three-year training program at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. It prepares young doctors to unite patient care with cutting-edge research. The program focuses on cancer and age-related diseases and connects medicine closely with data science. Doctors, researchers, and IT specialists work together to develop better diagnostics, therapies, and prevention strategies. Participants alternate every six months between clinical work and research and receive structured mentoring plus courses in data science, statistics, research methods, and soft skills.
