Dissertation prize for physician Dr. med. Robert Seifert, whose MD thesis is based on interdisciplinary collaboration supported by the Cells-in-Motion Cluster of Excellence. Medicine and Computer Science are two disciplines that many people would not automatically associate with each other. For Dr. Robert Seifert, however, they are, as he puts it, "a perfectly normal combination" and closely interlinked. Robert Seifert is a junior doctor at the Department of Nuclear Medicine at Münster University Hospital, handling images of the body's interior is part of his daily work. The image data generated there are highly complex, which is why it is often difficult for doctors to understand, in purely visual terms, how severe a particular disease is. It is for this reason that they work together with computer scientists.
