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.

Imports without guarantees are not competitive

Green hydrogen from Africa much more costly than previously assumed

To meet Europe’s demand for green hydrogen, governments and the private sector have high hopes for production in Africa. A study led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now shown that the financing costs for production facilities in African countries would be much higher than previously assumed. Only 2 percent of around 10,000 investigated locations would be competitive for exports to Europe. This would require price and offtake guarantees from European governments.
