KIT-IBT

SS26: the Institute of Biomedical Engineering (IBT) will offer again the new Master course Technologies in Radiotherapy. The course is worth 6 ECTS and combines lectures, excursions, and a hands-on group project.

The Physiological Society

A new coauthored paper in Physiological Reports explores the opportunities and challenges of human heart models for biomedical research. The article brings together experimental and computational perspectives, highlighting the value of in silico models for integrating data, testing hypotheses, and advancing cardiovascular research.

Software Carpentry

In Summer Semester 2026, the IBT will offer the 2-day workshop “Practical Introduction to Research Software Engineering”. The course is worth 1 ECTS and is a hands-on introduction to the Unix shell, the version control system Git, and Python.

Our PhD student Joshua Steyer was recently interviewed on “Nachgefragt – Wissen, wie’s läuft”, the science podcast by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. In this episode, Joshua talks about how to model the heart, particularly at the microscale, as well as the current challenges in realising such realistic simulations.

De Gruyter Brill

A new book chapter co-authored by our team has been published in Ethical Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence in Biomedical Engineering (De Gruyter Brill). The chapter explores ethical challenges surrounding the development and deployment of AI in biomedical technologies, highlighting the importance of uncertainty awareness in healthcare innovation.

KIT-IBT

Our new review article on artificial intelligence in cardiovascular medicine has been published. The paper outlines methodological foundations and highlights applications in imaging and ECG analysis, including deep learning for functional assessment and disease prediction. It also addresses generative AI, implementation challenges, and ethical considerations. The article is available in German.
