Join us at Bernhard Nocht Institute and online for the ‘AI in biology and Medicine‘ seminar series!
bAIome Center for biomedical AI (UKE) and Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNITM) are co hosting this series with the aim to capture a broad audience and promote cross institutional collaboration. Our expert speakers will give an overview and insight into particular AI/data science methods being developed in key areas of biology and medicine.
Our next seminar ‘It’s all About Time: Understanding Circadian Rhythms to Improve Performance, Prevent Disease and Optimize Treatment‘ will take place on Tuesday Apr 23rd, 14:00 at BNITM. Angela Relógio, Professor for Systems Medicine and Biostatistics at Medical School Hamburg (MSH), will speak about the circadian clock and how it orchestrates the timing of cellular processes, physiology, and behaviour, dictating the timing of activities such as sleep, exercise, and medication intake. Disruptions to our internal clock, like those stemming from shift work, heighten susceptibility to diseases like obesity, depression, cardiovascular problems, and cancer. Recent research, including our own, underscores the pivotal role of clock dysregulation in cancer initiation and progression and show a time dependent effect of treatment in in vitro, and in vivo models, and also in clinical studies. Circadian medicine and chronotherapy, designed to optimize health and performance through precise treatment timing, suffer from a lack of non-invasive clock characterization tools. To address this gap, we’ve developed a molecular/computational tool for characterizing circadian rhythms and predicting the timing of daily routines, streamlining chronotherapy implementation. By aligning an individual’s circadian clock with tailored daily routines, it is possible to enhance health, and also to optimize treatment schedules to minimize side effects and enhance therapeutic outcomes.
