Diabetes

At Helmholtz Munich, our research mission is to prevent, treat, and ultimately cure diabetes and obesity. Through cutting-edge basic research, we explore the complex mechanisms underlying type 2 diabetes and obesity as metabolic disorders, alongside the autoimmune disease type 1 diabetes.

AI in Health

Artificial intelligence (AI) holds remarkable promise for transforming human health. Our experts are harnessing advanced data analytics and machine learning techniques to revolutionize medical research—making it possible to detect diseases earlier, tailor treatments to individual patients, and ultimately achieve better health outcomes.

Prevention

Our vison at Helmholtz Munich a world where illnesses are identified before they develop – where personal health risks are spotted early, allowing for targeted measures to preserve well-being.

Foundation Models

At Helmholtz Munich, we develop and use foundation models – advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems – to improve health research and medical care.

Climate and Health

Our environment is changing rapidly, and rising temperatures are leaving significant traces. The causes and effects of diseases are exacerbated by heat, from asthma and allergies to heart attacks, strokes, and even metabolic disorders like diabetes.
