Scholarship Description:
The Leibniz Institute for Analytical Sciences (ISAS e.V.) develops efficient analytical methods for health research to improve the prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of diseases like cardiovascular conditions, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. The institute advances precision medicine by integrating knowledge from biology, chemistry, pharmacology, physics, and computer science. ISAS is a member of the Leibniz Association and receives public funding from the Federal Republic of Germany and its states.
Dr. Jianxu Chen, who leads the research group, graduated from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2011 and obtained his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Notre Dame under Professor Danny Chen in 2017. He then joined the Allen Institute for Cell Science in Seattle as a research scientist, where he led R&D and deployment of AI-based microscopy image analysis algorithms and the public release of a million-cell image database, published in Nature in January 2023.
Since September 2021, he has established the independent AI lab AMBIOM (Analysis of Microscopic BIOMedical images) at ISAS, focusing on large-scale biomedical image data analysis using AI.
His work has been presented at conferences such as NeurIPS, AAAI, MICCAI, ISBI, and BIBM, and published in journals including Nature Machine Intelligence, Nature Methods, Nature Communications, Nature Cardiovascular Research, and IEEE TMI.
