Great news for Vienna and our science community this week: The Austrian Academy of Sciences (@oeaw.at ) opens an institute for Biomedical Artificial Intelligence (AI) based on a € 150 million funding from the German non-profit Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation (BIS).
The new institute, called AITHYRA, will make revolutionary advances in biomedicine by developing AI-based research approaches. It will make a significant contribution to the advancement of human health with the knowledge gained from working with AI.
The foundation and OeAW were able to win Michael Bronstein, DeepMind Professor at the University of Oxford, as founding director of the institute (3rd from right)
We are very excited and are looking forward to a fruitful cooperation between the new institute and our @tu_wien colleagues with great expertise in AI and also in biotechnology.
The collaboration of Prof. Bronstein, @tu_wien, @univienna ans @meduniwien offers exceptional potentials in this important field of advancing biomedical development!
