Research group:

The Computational Medicine Research Lab at IT:U works at the intersection of computer science, health data science, and medicine. We aim to advance human health and healthcare by harnessing the power of large, complex biomedical datasets. Our research focuses on developing and evaluating data-driven methods and algorithms that uncover patterns, generate insights, and drive innovation in clinical practice and health policy. By deepening our understanding of the causes and mechanisms of disease, we strive to provide knowledge that empowers both clinicians and policymakers to improve outcomes for patients and populations.
