The project proposal "Profiling Cancer Genomes using AI and Natural Language Processing – Methodologies for Hotspot Identification" by PD Dr. Georges Hattab and Dr. Bahar İlgen from the Centre for Artificial Intelligence in Public Health Research at the Robert Koch Institute was able to prevail in the final vote for new thematic networks of the EU Health Policy Platform (EU HPP). A total of 19 project proposals were submitted in 2024, of which 6 were selected for the final vote.
