4 July 2025 | Professor Axel Haase has been awarded the Officer's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in recognition of his outstanding contributions to biomedical science.

27 June 2025 | Construction has officially begun on the new Center for Digital Medicine and Health (ZDMG) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), marked by a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony. The interdisciplinary center, which will bring together medical research, artificial intelligence, and data science under one roof, is being built on the campus of the TUM University Hospital Rechts der Isar.

24 June 2025 | Sunshine, science, and simulation. At the MidWinter Meeting of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology (ARO) in Orlando, Lukas Driendl, doctoral candidate in the research group “Bio-Inspired Information Processing”, spent an inspiring week diving into the latest in hearing research.

23 June 2025 | Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a medical robotic system to save lives. It relieves injured people with life-threatening tension pneumothorax in the chest cavity.

20 June 2025 | The BioSysteM Cluster of Excellence aims to develop self-organizing molecular and cellular systems with programmable, life-like properties. Spokesperson Prof. Friedrich Simmel explains in an interview why the involvement of society is crucial in this context.

13 June 2025 | 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.

12 June 2025 | 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 TUM have now discovered that artificial neural networks can perform this task better when trained with biological data from early visual system development.

19 May 2025 | Blood sugar, heart rate, and sleep data – wearable sensors such as smartwatches, rings or insulin patches can be used to monitor health parameters in everyday life. In this episode of NewIn, we meet Prof. Can Dincer. He develops biochemical sensors for point-of-care diagnostics and wearables. He focuses on minimally and non-invasive applications, such as analyzing the breath.

17 April 2025 | New system enables more efficient and precise gene editing and could help make cancer immunotherapies more accessible.

23 January 2025 | Our bodies are made up of around 75 billion cells. But what function does each individual cell perform and how greatly do a healthy person’s cells differ from those of someone with a disease? To draw conclusions, enormous quantities of data must be analyzed and interpreted. For this purpose, machine learning methods are applied. Researchers at TUM and Helmholtz Munich have now tested self-supervised learning as a promising approach for testing 20 million cells or more.
