Collaborative Research Institute Intelligent Oncology

Collaborative Research Institute
Intelligent Oncology

Harness the power of modern Artificial Intelligence techniques for the fight against cancer.

We strive to create an open and creative research environment at the Intersection of Translational Oncology and Machine Learning for talents all across the globe at the heart of Freiburg, Germany.

Collaborative Research

Multidisciplinary offices and laboratories, regular project leader meetings, international state-of-the-art conferences

Research Core Facilities

The institute has three core areas: Wet Labs, AI and Philosophy

Experimental Research

Interaction of AI experts, clinical and experimental scientists in joint wet labs

The potential of AI to Cure Cancer
