Munich Institute of Biomedical Engineering

The Munich Institute of Biomedical Engineering (MIBE) is an Integrative Research Institute (IRI) within the Technical University of Munich (TUM) that fosters interdisciplinary cooperation and synergies between researchers from the broad field of Biomedical Engineering.

At MIBE, researchers specializing in medicine, the natural sciences, and engineering join forces to develop new methods for preventing, diagnosing or treating diseases. The activities cover the entire development process – from the study of basic scientific principles through to their application in new medical devices, medicines and software. Beyond research, MIBE also provides educational opportunities for students and doctoral candidates and fosters entrepreneurship.

More transparency for AI in diagnostics
5 June 2023 | AI has the potential to support diagnoses in radiology. However, until now, a lack of transparency has often made it difficult to understand the recommendations made by AI. Researchers have now investigated whether and how the visual representations used in AI image analysis – referred to as Saliency Maps – can help.
Researching diabetes and pancreatic cancer with miniature organs
1 June 2023 | In this issue of "NewIn," we introduce Matthias Hebrok. The professor of Applied Stem Cell and Organoid Systems and director of the new TUM Center for Organoid Systems creates organ-like structures from stem cells.
