TUM coordinates project on long-term sequelae of coronavirus in children and adolescents

New network for Long Covid treatment and research

The Federal Ministry of Health recently announced nearly 45 million euros in funding for four projects addressing the long-term sequelae of Covid-19 in children and adolescents. This includes the PEDNET-LC consortium, which is being coordinated at the Technical University of Munich’s TUM University Hospital. The consortium will receive 41 million euros in funding. As part of the project, 20 specialized comprehensive care centers (CCCs) for children and adolescents with Long Covid and related diseases are established nationwide and new research infrastructures on this topic will be implemented.

Interaction of exoskeleton and electrical stimulation

Regaining mobility quickly after a stroke

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a system that helps patients learn to move their paralyzed arms and hands quickly after a stroke. This requires targeted stimulation of the muscles in the forearm and the support of an exoskeleton. Twenty-four stroke patients have already tested the system at the Schön Klinik Bad Aibling.

Pioneering educational project by TUM and the Roland Berger Foundation

Supporting socially disadvantaged children with AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) will shape the future - but not all children have the same opportunities to learn how to use it. A unique educational project by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Roland Berger Foundation (RBS) addresses precisely this issue: Socially disadvantaged schoolchildren are to develop AI skills at an early age in order to actively shape the digital future.

Autonomous vehicle thinks for itself

Robot Jack moves like a human

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a wheeled robot that makes its way through a crowd of people safely and without hesitation. A computer on board predicts the movement of people in the vicinity and how they are likely to react to the robot. From this, it calculates the fastest route. Similar algorithms could also be used for humanoid robots or autonomous driving to enable safe interaction between robots and humans.

Award for study on pain perception in chicken embryos

Animal welfare research prize for TUM researchers

A team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has made a contribution to German animal welfare legislation with research into the pain sensation of chicken embryos: For animal welfare reasons, the destruction of eggs as part of the sexing of chicken embryos has been banned from the 13th day of hatching since 2024. The TUM researchers are awarded the Felix Wankel Animal Welfare Research Prize 2025 for this commitment.

AI-based math: individualized support for schoolchildren

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the University of Cologne have developed an AI-based learning system that recognizes strengths and weaknesses in mathematics by tracking eye movements with a webcam to generate problem-solving hints. This enables teachers to provide significantly more children with individualized support.

Training neural networks more efficiently

New method significantly reduces AI energy consumption

The enormous computing resources needed to train neural networks for artificial intelligence (AI) result in massive power consumption. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a method that is 100 times faster and therefore much more energy efficient. Instead of taking an iterative approach, the parameters are computed directly based on probabilities. The results so far are comparable in quality to existing iterative methods.

Gentler and more efficient than previous procedures

A method to purify proteins with light

Proteins play a key role in the life sciences — from basic research and biotechnological applications to the development and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals. Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a method that relies on physics rather than conventional chemistry to obtain the proteins that are needed for this purpose. Using short-wave, UV light invisible to humans, they have succeeded in purifying proteins from cell extracts or cultures. This technique is more efficient and gentler than previous methods.
