Marina Zimmermann, professor of computational pathology (UKE) will speak about the gap between research and clinics and the factors that contribute to this, such as the focus on reproducing subjective scores and the large variance in performance depending on the data source. She will look into overcoming subjective scores by introducing objective endpoints, as well as developing quantifiable and objective metrics based on specialised microscopy types. In order to further close the gap, she will address domain shifts between datasets and generalizability, as well as measures of uncertainty to defer uncertain decisions.

As the year is approaching its end, we cordially invite you to this year's last Data Science Colloquium on December 19th, 2024, at 5 pm at the Albert-Einstein-Ring 8-10 on Campus Bahrenfeld (https://g.co/kgs/5eMwmnz, Ground Floor, Rooms 5 & 10). We look forward to talks by DASHH researchers Prof. Christian Schwanenberger and Dr. Andrea Thorn on current opportunities and challenges for artificial intelligence in particle physics & structural biology.

We hope to meet you for discussions after the talks with some snacks & hot beverages in a cheerful atmosphere.

We are happy to announce the next talk of our Data Science Colloquium which is an event jointly organized by Data Science in Hamburg - the Helmholtz Graduate School for the Structure of Matter (DASHH) and our partners.

We are looking forward to the talk of Dr. Christoph Grebner (Computational Chemist, Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany) 
Drug design is a resource-demanding process that necessitates mining the incredibly large hemical space and includes expensive and time-consuming experiments. In the last decades, computer-assisted drug design (CADD) has become an indispensable tool to support and facilitate this process. Recent developments in the field include incorporating machine learning models at various steps of the drug discovery process and improving algorithms for searching the chemical universe. The talk will highlight key steps in computer-assisted drug design and discuss upcoming opportunities and challenges for AI technologies in CADD. Dr. Christoph Grebner is a computational chemist at Sanofi with several years of experience supporting drug design projects with CADD.

The National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is a 2.2 MJ laser facility designed to achieve inertial confinement fusion ignition. In this approach, the 192 laser beams of NIF are used to compress and heat a millimeter-scale capsule of deuterium-tritium fuel to fusion ignition conditions where the fusion energy produced exceeds the laser energy delivered to the target. On Dec. 5, 2022, a NIF experiment crossed this ignition threshold for the first time. In the two years since, significant further progress has been made with recent experiments producing more than double the amount of laser energy used to drive the implosion.

This talk reviews the importance of the interplay of theory and high-performance computing with experiments, and critical hurdles that had to be overcome to reach ignition, recent progress in NIF experiments since ignition was achieved, and some of the current and future plans aiming for even higher fusion yields.

This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under Contract DE-AC52-07NA27344.

On June 12th and 13th, 2025, the PIER Education Platform (PEP) in collaboration with the graduate school DASHH and further partners offers a Python 3 introductory course on Campus Bahrenfeld. The course is designed as an introduction and prelude to upcoming courses and networking sessions that then rely on the basic Python 3 knowledge taught on these two days.
If you are interested in participating, you can get more information and register here
The course is especially useful as the trainer, Dr. Christoph Rosemann, is a trained physicist who also works at DESY and is keen on supporting researchers to cope with specific computational challenges in their field of research.
