Center for Digital Medicine (CDM)

The Center for Digital Medicine (CDM) of the Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf was established in 2022 as a collaborative scientific institution of the Medical and Mathematical-Natural Sciences Faculties. The CDM aims to take a leading role in the ongoing digital revolution of biomedical research. To achieve this, the CDM provides over 150 researchers and collaborating research groups with a modern infrastructure and contemporary working environment spanning more than 3000 m2 of workspace.

 

The interdisciplinary focus of the CDM covers all key areas of digital medicine, bringing together research groups specializing in bioinformatics, medical informatics, data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning within an open environment. By fostering mutual exchange, complex research projects become feasible, gaining relevance and impact on medical care through direct links with the University Hospital Düsseldorf.

The consistent training of young researchers is one of the core objectives of the CDM. The chairs and research groups organized within the CDM offer excellent training opportunities on exciting and diverse topics at the interface between biomedicine and informatics. With its international orientation and global networking, the CDM provides a rich environment for young researchers to develop their scientific profiles, thereby shaping the future of research.

Working groups at the CDM

The CDM pursues an interdisciplinary approach with method- and application-oriented working groups.

Method-oriented working groups

Method-oriented working groups focus their research on bioinformatics, medical informatics, data science, and artificial intelligence with medical applications.

Application-oriented working groups

Application-oriented working groups use techniques from data science, bioinformatics, or digital medicine in their research or clinical practice.
