 +X-Research Group - Digital twins for the treatment of hypertension 
 +<https://livermetabolism.com/teaching/> 
 +**M. König** receives funding of the Berlin University Alliance and the DFG  
 +for the X-Student Research Group: **Digital twins for the treatment of  
 +hypertension** 
 +Understanding a drugs pharmacokinetics - how it is absorbed,  
 +distributed, metabolised and excreted by the body - and its  
 +pharmacodynamics - how it affects the body - is a key challenge in  
 +treating people. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and  
 +diuretics are two classes of drugs used to treat high blood pressure.  
 +Both are among the most commonly prescribed drugs due to the high  
 +prevalence of hypertension in an ageing society. 
 +In this X-student research group physiologically based pharmacokinetic  
 +models of the diuretic hydrochlorothiazide and the ACE inhibitor  
 +lisinopril will be developed. With the X-Student Research Groups  
 +<https://www.berlin-university-alliance.de/commitments/teaching-learning/sturop/research-groups/index.html>, 
 +the Berlin University Alliance supports research teams consisting of  
 +young researchers and students. The goal is to involve students in  
 +current research projects of the alliance partners and to enable them to  
 +participate in (cutting-edge) research already during their studies. 
 +Funded under the Excellence Strategy of the Federal Government and the  
 +Länder by the Berlin University Alliance

 +ATLAS - AI and Simulation for Tumor Liver ASsessment 
 +<https://www.simtech.uni-stuttgart.de/press/SimTech-collaborates-across-disciplines-in-joint-ATLAS-project/> 
 +*The BMBF is funding the joint project ATLAS in the **"Computational Life  
 +Sciences - AI Methods for Systems Medicine"** of **M. König.** 
 +Liver cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related death.  
 +Diagnosis and treatment are time-critical and require highly  
 +patient-specific diagnostic and treatment pathways. Medical  
 +decision-making is based on a variety of interdependent factors related  
 +to different medical disciplines, past experience and clinical  
 +guidelines. Taking into account all decision factors in combination with  
 +the possible therapeutic approaches is a major challenge for physicians  
 +and often cannot be solved optimally even in an interdisciplinary tumor  
 +board. In this project, we are developing ATLAS, a decision support tool  
 +that will significantly assist clinicians in meeting this challenge.  
 +Based on AI methods, ATLAS processes all relevant patient data from  
 +databases, systems medicine and continuum biomechanical in silico  
 +prognosis models as well as individual patient data. The tool is being  
 +developed in a co-design approach by experts in surgical oncology,  
 +mathematical modeling and machine learning. The selected technologies  
 +will integrate automated understanding of a highly complex patient  
 +situation through simulation of liver functions with expert knowledge  
 +and ontology-driven learning with knowledge graphs from retrospective  
 +liver tumor cases. ATLAS will be based on a detailed historical data  
 +cohort of more than 6,000 patients with liver tumors and will be  
 +evaluated on case studies at the University Hospital of Jena. The  
 +integration of medical expert knowledge, mathematical modeling and  
 +artificial intelligence represents a highly original and promising  
 +approach for high-quality diagnosis and treatment of liver tumors,  
 +resulting in patient-specific improvement of prognosis. The scientific  
 +knowledge gained from these projects will provide opportunities for  
 +transfer to malignancies in other organs, such as the lung, kidney or  
 +brain. The development of tools and demonstrators will provide  
 +sustainable exploitation pathways for future commercial applications.

 +The 3-year research project **"Delineating and testing a microcircuit 
 +model of parahippocampal phase precession"** is funded by the German 
 +Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG) within the 
 +Priority Program 1665 (Schwerpunktprogramm) "Resolving and 
 +manipulating neuronal networks in the mammalian brain – from 
 +correlative to causal analysis". The project will start in November 
 +2016.  Collaborators are **Prof. Michael Brecht** (Humboldt-Universität zu 
 +Berlin), **Prof. Dietmar Schmitz** (Charité), and **Prof. Richard Kempter** 
 +(Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin).
