MRI-Based Muscle Phenotyping: Predicting Cardiovascular, Metabolic, and Pain Outcomes

This project uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to analyze muscle MRI scans. It aims to explore the link between muscle health and the risk of cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, and chronic back pain. By assessing muscle mass and quality, particularly fat content, the project seeks to discover new biomarkers. These could enable better prevention and early detection in the future. The project combines data from large studies with innovative AI image analysis methods.

The following fellowship applicants have asserted themselves successfully: 
 

October 2024: $$ Monitoring Patients with Glioblastoma by Using a Large Language Model: Accurate Summarization of Radiology Reports with GPT-4

Project description: 

The optimization of clinical workflows and the associated freeing up of medical resources are key aspects of the work. Medical resources are and will remain limited. Therefore, it is essential to use them as efficiently as possible.

December 2024 $$ Aggressive Lymphoma after CD19 CAR T-Cell Therapy

Project description:

The CAR-T cell therapy is an innovative treatment method in which the body’s own immune cells, called T cells, are genetically modified in such a way that they can specifically recognize and destroy cancer cells. This modern therapeutic approach has revolutionized the treatment of patients with malignant lymphomas in recent years.
