Principal Investigator: Dr. Mete Akgün
Institution: University of Tübingen
The primary focus is developing privacy-preserving machine learning techniques for handling medical data. One of our key areas of interest is rare disease analysis, which requires access to a substantial number of genomes for successful research. However, obtaining access to numerous genomes presents significant privacy challenges, particularly in compliance with regulations like GDPR. We...

Principal Investigator: Prof. Ariane Machado-Lima
Institution: University of Sao Paulo
My research team aims to investigate facial anthropometric patterns in some disorders to assist in diagnosis. While our primary interest is in Autism Spectrum Disorder, we are also interested in exploring other syndromes to evaluate our models. We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to analyse GMDB data.

Principal Investigator: Prof. Sowmya Kamath
Institution: National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal, India
We are currently working on developing advanced AI models for the diagnosis of Genetic Syndromes (GS) through facial gestalt analysis. Facial gestalt, which focuses on recognizing specific dysmorphic features in the face, is a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying various GS. However, current methodologies that rely on geometric data, facial landmarks, and handcrafted features are limited by...
