Welcoming Ewa Szczurek to MCML
Developing Probabilistic and Generative Models for Cancer, Lung Diseases, and Antibiotic Resistance
We are pleased to welcome Ewa Szczurek as a Principal Investigator.
Ewa Szczurek is Professor of AI in Life Sciences at LMU Munich, associate professor at the University of Warsaw, and Director of the Institute of AI for Health at Helmholtz Munich. Her lab develops probabilistic graphical models and deep generative models for applications in medicine, with research areas including cancer, lung diseases, and antibiotic resistance.
Current projects explore how tumors develop, interact with surrounding tissues, and become resistant to treatment. The lab also develops generative models to design antimicrobial peptides that can fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
