We have been drivers of the **International** **Cancer Genome Consortium** (ICGC) since its inception. More recently, we have joined the worldwide effort to build a **Human Cell Atlas** by establishing the human pancreas cell atlas in health and disease. Here, we take particular advantage of our strong technology development arm in imaging and sequencing technology combined with our strengths in computational analysis of multi-dimensional data . Reaching out into the rich data world of clinical care, **Roland Eils** co-initiated the German Medical Informatics Initiative. Here, he has been the founder and coordinator of the **HiGHmed** consortium that integrates data from nine university medical centers in Germany with the goal to make data from clinical care and research interoperable across medical sectors and institutions. **HiDiH** integrates our research activities in fundamental life sciences and in innovative healthcare research at our two sites in Berlin and in Heidelberg. ## Research Groups ![ailslabheader\_1000x500px\_200212](https://www.hidih.org/hubfs/CD/Layout/ailslabheader_1000x500px_200212.jpg "ailslabheader_1000x500px_200212") ### Artificial Intelligence **Roland Eils, Benjamin Wild** [![Read more](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6513510/4ad74c08-89cd-4d67-9559-8d22fe949f6e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6513510/4ad74c08-89cd-4d67-9559-8d22fe949f6e) ![Genome\_Medicine\_icon\_191205](https://www.hidih.org/hubfs/CD/Modulbilder/Research%20Overview/Genome_Medicine_icon_191205.jpg "Genome_Medicine_icon_191205") ### Cancer Bioinformatics **Naveed Ishaque** [![Read more](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6513510/76fd1f8c-f876-4040-9dce-f2df1dedd5db.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6513510/76fd1f8c-f876-4040-9dce-f2df1dedd5db) ![Intelligent\_Imaging\_Icon\_1000px\_191205](https://www.hidih.org/hubfs/CD/Modulbilder/Research%20Overview/Intelligent_Imaging_Icon_1000px_191205.jpg "Intelligent_Imaging_Icon_1000px_191205") ### Intelligent Imaging **Christian Conrad** [![Read more](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6513510/7f0b30d8-fc1a-4bcf-b77e-6f3efed55704.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6513510/7f0b30d8-fc1a-4bcf-b77e-6f3efed55704) ![Biomedical-Genomics\_icon\_1000px\_191205](https://www.hidih.org/hubfs/CD/Modulbilder/Icons%20%C3%9Cbersichtsseiten/Biomedical-Genomics_icon_1000px_191205.jpg "Biomedical-Genomics_icon_1000px_191205") ### Health Data **Jürgen Eis, Harald Wagener, Dirk Meyer zum Büschenfelde & Sven Twardziok** [![Read more](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6513510/13632aa1-8b2d-4b8a-a54f-d5e728baadc0.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6513510/13632aa1-8b2d-4b8a-a54f-d5e728baadc0) ![symbol\_image\_realbrain\_012223\_32ptB](https://www.hidih.org/hs-fs/hubfs/symbol_image_realbrain_012223_32ptB.png?width=480&height=270&name=symbol_image_realbrain_012223_32ptB.png "symbol_image_realbrain_012223_32ptB") ### Medical Omics **Sören Lukassen** [![Read more](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6513510/10ff23ad-f6c1-47f9-b2d3-10d15313c569.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6513510/10ff23ad-f6c1-47f9-b2d3-10d15313c569) ### Latest News [![](https://www.hidih.org/hubfs/image.png)](https://www.hidih.org/news/dekcd-industry-forum?hsLang=en) #### [de.KCD Industry Forum](https://www.hidih.org/news/dekcd-industry-forum?hsLang=en) As part of the de.KCD/de.NBI network the Center of Digital Health organizes this year’s de.KCD Industry Forum on June 18, 2026 at the Einstein Center Digital Future in Berlin. de.KCD creates a forum [![](https://www.hidih.org/hubfs/SBHD_2026_Banner.png)](https://www.hidih.org/news/sbhd-2026?hsLang=en) #### [SBHD 2026](https://www.hidih.org/news/sbhd-2026?hsLang=en) Our colleagues from Northestern University in Boston are organising the 18th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEMS BIOLOGY OF HUMAN DISEASE – SBHD 2026 in Boston from June 08-10.
