baiosphere is thrilled to congratulate Prof. Dr. Dr. Fabian Theis, co-head of the Bavarian AI Council, on receiving the prestigious Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize 2023.
The German Reserach Foundation decorates Fabian for his outstanding work in the field of computational biology and bioinformatics. As a researcher, Fabian has pioneered the analysis, modeling and interpretation of genomic data as well as the development of new methods for biomedical data analysis, especially for single-cell genomics. Regarding his work, Fabian says: “Biomedical research has been driven by technology for a long time. With the wealth of data coming out of sequencing assays, we have the perfect testbed for pattern mining enabled by AI. Future medicine will be increasingly leveraging such advances for diagnosis, but also understanding disease processes and thereby finding treatments or even prevention measures.”
