A team working with Prof. Oliver Hayden has developed a method for assessing the number and structure of aggregated blood platelets that can potentially help quantify the risk of a severe COVID-19 infection. They have thus identified a predictive biomarker for the seriousness of an infection. This will allow treatment adjustment at an early stage. [read more]

Eleven TUM researchers belong to the world's most frequently cited scientists – including Professor Fabian Theis, holder of the Chair of Mathematical Modelling of Biological Systems. Their names can be found in the latest "Highly Cited Researchers" rankings. [read more]

Hussam Amrouch has developed an AI-ready architecture that is twice as powerful as comparable in-memory computing approaches. As reported in the journal Nature, the professor at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) applies a new computational paradigm using special circuits known as ferroelectric field effect transistors (FeFETs). Within a few… [read more]

The European Research Council (ERC) today awarded 37 particularly well-funded Synergy Grants across Europe. One of these interdisciplinary research awards went to Julien Gagneur, Professor of Computational Molecular Medicine, together with researchers from the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Microbiology (Belgium) and the Karolinska Institute (Sweden). In… [read more]

A research team working with Burkhard Rost, professor of bioinformatics, has investigated how the three-finger snake toxin emerged between 50 and 120 million years ago. The results could help with the development of better snakebite treatments and lead to new knowledge for the treatment of illnesses such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension. [read more]
