Spotlight on Julia Schnabel

#WomenInELLIS
Meet Julia Schnabel, Professor for Computational Imaging and AI in Medicine at Helmholtz Munich / TU Munich 🇩🇪

She’s an ELLIS Fellow and member of the ELLIS Unit Munich and ELLIS Program ELLIS Health.

Her research areas include machine learning for biomedical imaging; AI-enabled imaging; multimodal foundation models. Professionally, she says a recent career highlight was organising the first MICCAI Conference on the African continent.

She said she wanted to participate in this campaign because, “career paths often aren't linear, and everyone has different stories to tell. Hearing and sharing more of those might help to put own aspirations into a perspective...”

See more below for her long term outlook for where the field of AI/ML in the field of medicine and health should go.
