Maastricht University

The Department of Precision Medicine is an disease and discipline-agnostic department with international group of highly motivated researchers at the University of Maastricht. The Department of Precision Medicine consists out of The D-Lab, an AI lab focused on Decision Support System (DSS), the M-Lab, a molecular lab focusing on targeting the tumour microenvironment and using genetically modified bacteria colonizing the microbiome for therapeutic purposes and the the Clinical Trial Unit+ (CTU), the CTU is a datacenter specialized in (virtual) clinical trials and In Silico experiments based on real and synthetic data.

Role of institution in the project

The D-Lab involved in EUCAIM, excels at applying machine learning methods, such as deep learning, on vast amounts of medical data in order to improve the lives of patients, with a focus on decision support systems and personalizing treatment. Its scientists are one of the inventors of “Distributed learning” a revolutionary Big Data approach for health care, “Radiomics” and “multifactorial Decision Support Systems” and have extensive experience in transformation of patient data into clinical tools, translational medicine and subsequent entrepreneurial activities, semantic web technology, ethics involved with personal medical data ownership and utilization and in silico simulation of cancer.
