Jakob Weiss
Research Fellow
Jakob is a senior resident in Radiology and a research scholar at AIM as well as a visiting scholar at Harvard Medical School. His research interest is to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to investigate known and novel imaging biomarkers with the aim to develop analysis tools that will help to improve disease prevention and prognostication. In particular, he wants to focus on decoding and extracting unused information embedded in medical images to support a more comprehensive and reliable risk assessment in a non-invasive way. To achieved this, he intends to leverage his training in radiology and AI to work on the intersection between clinical care and lab research to develop and apply novel tools in real-world scenarios to address unmet clinical needs and advance precision medicine. In line with his recent research at AIM and the Cardiovascular Imaging Research Center (CIRC, Prof. U. Hoffmann), his work is focused on projects in oncology and cardiovascular disease.
Jakob graduated with his M.D. from the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich, Germany and completed his doctoral thesis (Dr. med) in cancer immunology at the Institute for Translational Molecular Immunology at the Helmholtz Center – German Research Center for Environmental Health. To consolidate his research, he has been awarded a fellowship from the German Research Foundation (DFG).
