AG Univ. Prof. Andreas Schuppert
The focus of Schuppert Group ranges from hybrid modelling and next generation computational technologies up to quantum computing for applications in medicine and health care. The group’s goal is to integrate knowledge- and physics-inspired models with AI technologies to create digital twins that help realizing model training in data sparsity and gain predictive models that satisfy the needs of clinical use. Current application areas include intensive care, pain research, rare diseases and oncology. Throughout the SARS-CoV-2 pandemics, the Schuppert group contributed to the nationwide modelling activities with a focus on simulating the peak load for intensive care capacities. These activities are followed up together with partners in MONID and NUM.

- ASIC: Algorithmic Surveillance of ICU patients
The demand for intensive care medicine will strongly increase over the next years facing unmet medical needs, such as early diagnosis of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Within the ASIC project we are developing a system for continuous analysis of data obtained from the hospital patient data management system (PDMS) in order to enable model-based ‘algorithmic surveillance’ of the state of critically ill patients. We are developing and integrating a hybrid modeling system which consists of two components: the Virtual Patient (VP) and the Diagnostic Expert Advisor (DEA). The VP is a model-based system which relies on the physiological models of respiratory and cardiac system and allows personalized modeling of a patient physiology. In contrast to the VP the DEA is a data-driven component which utilizes ML tools and will support the VP model in stratification of patients and parameters estimation for individual patients. These two components together build up a hybrid modeling system which will enable individual prognosis for a particular patient. ASIC is one of the use cases of the BMBF-funded consortium SMITH.

Integration of prior knowledge into machine learning technologies in order to reduce the data demand for training, to foster the reliability of the models and to enable extrapolation, plays a crucial role for digitalization of medicine. Based on our prior work on structured hybrid models integrating process structures and machine learning in chemical engineering, we focus our research on the special mathematical challenges arising from the integration of medical data structures as well as the structures of medical knowledge into machine learning. Our research projects are dedicated to clinical applications characterized by heterogeneous, multi-scale structures in close cooperation with clinical and non-clinical research partners.
- Prognosis – MONID BMBF
The BMBF-funded project PROGNOSIS, which is part of the Germany-wide modelling hub MONID, aims to develop an integrated platform for simulation of epidemic and pandemic infection dynamics and its consequences for the healthcare systems on heterogeneous levels of care up to hospital logistics. Our group contributes models for prediction of loads on various levels of hospital care dedicated to precise simulations around peak loads. Moreover we contribute to the conceptual design of mixed data-driven and mechanistic modellng approaches for prediction of infection dynamics covering the challenges arising from the apparent lacks in data and quantitative understanding of mechanisms as well as the short predition horizons of pure data driven models.

- TREAT-SGS
Schinzel-Giedion Syndrome (SGS) is a rare disease that affects young children. One debilitating symptom of SGS are frequent seizures that are difficult to manage using conventional therapies. In this consortium project we conduct a preclinical study to repurpose a drug to treat the seizures associated with Schinzel-Giedion-Syndrome. The project is funded by European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases via the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).
EDITH
The EU-funded EDITH consortium starting October 2022 strives to develop a roadmap for development and implementation of Digital Twins for Health Care. The roadmap will address the broad range of challenges to be tackled en route to digital twins from regulatory issues, high performance computing, computational technologies integrating AI and Systems Medicine up to clinical data. Use cases will demonstrate the route towards realisation of the potential of digital twins in health care.- CCLS
Started as an initiative by the Uniklinik RWTH Aachen and RWTH Aachen University, the Center for Computational Life Sciences (CCLS) constitutes a contact point and competence center between the disciplines of life sciences, medicine and computational sciences. Its main goal is to foster interdisciplinary research, teaching and infrastructure at the interface of life science and and cutting-edge information technology. In that context, the CCLS organises a colloquium, regular seminars and conferences on the one hand and enhances data availability on the other hand.
