Data Science for Personalised Health

Prof. Dr. Catherine Jutzeler has held an ETH Tenure Track Assistant Professorship of Biomedical Data Science at the Department of Health Sciences and Technology (D-HEST) as part of the ETH Rehab Initiative since January 2022 and is head of the Biomedical Data Science (BMDS) Lab.

The Biomedical Data Science Lab (BMDS) is an interdisciplinary, motivated and young research team working at the intersection of medicine, data science and biology. Their research aims to identify causes, risk factors, and biomarkers of disease progression. At the core of their research is a series of prospective and retrospective investigations that integrate genetic, biochemical, clinical assessments and medication history with both traditional epidemiological approaches and machine-learning algorithms. Currently, they are doing research in the fields of spinal cord injury, lower back pain and infectious diseases (e.g. sepsis in children and adults).
