Centre for Biomedical AI

We focus on the application of  AI techniques and technologies to improve various aspects of medical research and healthcare.

About the Centre

The Centre for Biomedical AI at the Centenary Institute is focused on protein design and the development of multimodal AI approaches to advance basic and clinical medical research.

This includes techniques from improving image-based diagnostics to engineering strategies for improving movement related to injury, birth defects, or neurological or cardiovascular disease, to predicting behavior and nerve responses to stimuli.
