Digitalization is playing an increasingly important role in laboratories as well. The use of artificial intelligence in data analysis significantly expands possibilities in the areas of diagnostics and individualized therapies. Therefore, the German Society for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (DGKL) awards the Digital Laboratory Funding Prize for outstanding scientific achievements.
18.09.2024: Biochemist Oliver Bruns (NCT/UCC Dresden) and chemist Ellen Sletten (UCLA) have been presented with the Helmholtz High Impact Award 2024 by the Helmholtz Association and the “Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft” for their research into an innovative medical imaging technology in the short-wave infrared range. The procedure they have developed has the potential to significantly improve surgical removal of tumors. At yesterday’s award ceremony in Berlin, the two scientists were presented with the award – endowed with € 50,000 – in recognition of their interdisciplinary research.
