Welcome on board 🛳️ !
relAI Fellow Carsten Marr is Professor for AI in Cell Therapy and Hematology at the Medical Faculty and Clinics of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, as well as Director of the Institute of AI for Health at Helmholtz Munich.
In recent years, he has made significant contributions to AI-based hematological cytology. His focus on the interpretability of models trained on patient data to make predictions in a biomedical context 🩺 closely aligns with relAI's central themes of safety and responsibility. His innovative multiple instance learning models facilitate the investigation of relevant cells for disease prediction, while sparse autoencoders help correlate image features with diagnostic concepts. Additionally, his work on linking images and language enables direct comparisons between understandable human terms and cellular patterns within gigabyte-sized digital scans. At relAI, he will support students through lectures, mentoring, and participation in events.
