The professorship aims to develop and establish infrastructural components as well as to evaluate medical data collected and processed as part of the Medical Informatics Initiative at the Leipzig University Medical Center. This is intended to provide scientific support for the Data Integration Center of the Leipzig University Medical Center on the one hand and to create a link to clinical and epidemiological scientists on the other. At the same time as the professorship, the Medical Data Science Department was created at Leipzig University Medical Center, which is headed by Prof. Kirsten.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221;][vc_column_text]The current infrastructural challenges of the professorship include the development and establishment of a distributed analysis infrastructure with which data from different university hospitals can be analysed without the individual data of the patients leaving the hospital. The professorship works closely with the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technologies and the University of Cologne.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221;][vc_column_text]In addition, the professorship cooperates very closely with the Institute of Medical Informatics, Statistics and Epidemiology of the Leipzig University and the Center for Scalable Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence Dresden Leipzig (ScaDS.AI). The former has been involved in the analysis of clinical and epidemiological data for years, while ScaDS.AI focuses primarily on basic and application-oriented research for Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The cooperation makes it possible to apply current AI methods and procedures in medical research and to communicate new challenges directly to both centers. The focus of the Leipzig University Medical Center will thus be further strengthened, especially with regard to the evaluation of clinical data.[\/vc_column_text][\/qode_elements_holder_item][\/qode_elements_holder][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1660742034246{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 2% !important;padding-bottom: 2% !important;padding-left: 2% !important;background-color: #f5f6f6 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1660742053858{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;][qode_elements_holder number_of_columns=&#8221;one_column&#8221;][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=&#8221;top&#8221; advanced_animations=&#8221;no&#8221; item_padding=&#8221;3% 3% 0 3%&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Professorship for Data Science | Essen University Hospital<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/qode_elements_holder_item][\/qode_elements_holder][qode_elements_holder background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; number_of_columns=&#8221;two_columns&#8221; columns_proportion=&#8221;33_66&#8243;][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=&#8221;top&#8221; advanced_animations=&#8221;no&#8221; item_padding=&#8221;12% 3% 8% 8%&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;15171&#8243; img_size=&#8221;250x250x&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_circle_2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1721222653676{padding-top: 6% !important;padding-right: 6% !important;padding-bottom: 6% !important;padding-left: 6% !important;background-color: #eaf6f9 !important;}&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1660741545703{background-color: #eaf6f9 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1660742766208{padding-top: 4% !important;padding-right: 4% !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 6% !important;background-color: #eaf6f9 !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Prof. Dr. Folker Meyer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Professor for Data Science<br \/>\nEssen University Hospital<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;5px&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1660741582592{background-color: #eaf6f9 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1724850390364{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 3% !important;padding-bottom: 4% !important;padding-left: 6% !important;background-color: #eaf6f9 !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 14px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uk-essen.de\/institut\/ikim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">To the IKIM \u2013 Institute for AI in Medicine<br \/>\nEssen University Hospital<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/qode_elements_holder_item][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=&#8221;top&#8221; advanced_animations=&#8221;no&#8221; item_padding=&#8221;5%&#8221;][vc_column_text]Prof. Dr. Folker Meyer has held the chair for Data Science at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (IKIM) of the University Hospital Essen at the University of Duisburg-Essen since 2020.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221;][vc_column_text]In addition to the data science methods, formerly called Big Data, bioinformatics and genome research methods are used.
