DECIPHER-M Project Launched to Revolutionize Cancer Treatment with AI
Prof. Jakob Nikolas Kather is leading the DECIPHER-M project, a multimodal research initiative aiming to enhance cancer patient treatment and wellbeing. The project, set to run from 2023 to 2030, connects diverse data like tissue samples, X-ray images, and genetic information to improve diagnoses and develop personalized treatments.
The DECIPHER-M project, coordinated by Prof. Kather, involves partners from Dresden, Aachen, Essen, Heidelberg, Mainz, and Munich. These universities and research centers are collaborating to understand cancer cell metastasis better using artificial intelligence. The project takes a multimodal approach, integrating various data types to enable earlier and more precise diagnoses. It also aims to predict individual metastasis risk and develop personalized treatment strategies.
The project has received initial funding of approximately 5.5 million euros from the BMBF for the first three years, with an ideal total budget of around nine million euros.
