New method for labeling T cells in immunotherapy

Tracking immune cells inside the body

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.

Neural Networks benefit from biological data

How artificial intelligence can learn from mice

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 the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now discovered that artificial neural networks can perform this task better when trained with biological data from early visual system development.

Two months in the emergency room of Africa’s largest hospital

Clinical elective in an emergency zone

Dominik Matyjaszczyk, a 10th-semester medical student at TUM, has encountered a reality that has shown him what it means to push his limits – both professionally and personally. For his clinical elective, he was at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Johannesburg – a place where violence and hardship shape daily life in a way one might expect in crisis zones. In this interview, he shares his formative experiences.

Funding for the AIdvice digital knowledge assistant

Artificial intelligence to support cancer treatment

For people with a cancer diagnosis, understandable and reliable information is crucial – but is often difficult to find. The wording of medical guidelines and advice is often too complex for many patients to understand. At the same time, they are exposed to widespread misinformation online. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the TUM University Hospital have now received funding from Google.org for the AIdvice project, which aims to translate up-to-date, evidence based knowledge into answers that are understandable and adapted to individual needs.

Quantum Computers Simulate Fundamental Physics

Shedding Light on the Building Blocks of Nature

Fundamental forces in nature are described by complex theoretical models. However, understanding them is challenging due to the complexity of simulating these models, which is beyond the capabilities of conventional supercomputers. A research team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Princeton University, and Google Quantum AI has now demonstrated that quantum computers are a powerful tool to investigate such fundamental physics and to glimpse into the dynamics of the building blocks of nature.

Start-up Fusix Biotech explores new paths in immunotherapy

A therapeutic virus against cancer

Even tumor cells can be infected by pathogens. In fact, they are especially vulnerable – a side effect of their ability to hide from the immune system. Dr. Jennifer Altomonte and her team at Fusix Biotech are making use of exactly that. The spin-off from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is developing virus-based cancer therapies that mobilize the body’s own immune defenses in the fight against the disease.
