Deep AI for Biomedical Image Processing

Archived record. This site preserves the DAISYlabs project (2018–2021). The group is no longer active. Content reflects the state of the project at its conclusion; some links may no longer work.

DAISYlabs competed in international medical imaging challenges and published peer-reviewed methods for skin lesion analysis, histopathology segmentation, and radiology image processing.

DAISYlabs was a joint effort of PhD, MSc and MD students of the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) and the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) to establish a deep learning platform for biomedical image processing that allowed efficient collaboration and knowledge exchange between UKE and TUHH working groups in the field of biomedical imaging and image processing. It was funded by Forschungszentrum Medizintechnik Hamburg ( fmthh).
