In 2016, this renowned brain surgeon started a research group at the LCSB. As a medical doctor performing surgeries regularly, Prof. Hertel realised that patient outcomes could be significantly improved by further developing interpretation of clinical image data (MRIs, CT scans etc\u2026) for surgeries. The solution towards the precise development of these tools lies, in large parts, in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning. He created the \u2018Interventional NeuroScience Laboratory\u2019 at the LCSB with the goal to foster collaborations between computer scientists, mathematicians, and medical doctors. Currently, Prof. Hertel\u2019s research team aims to develop better methods for the interpretation of clinical image data which could then lead to improved diagnosis and prognosis of disease.<\/p><p>From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Prof. Hertel\u2019s team made great strides in developing new computational methods. Based on lung scans they could distinguish COVID lesions from those of other origins. At the international MICCAI COVID-19 Challenge this summer, their innovative approach was ranked 3rd among 225 contestants.<\/p><p>Starting in 2022, the generous Quilvest donation will support a \u2018Quilvest Research Fellow\u2019 in Prof. Hertel\u2019s group. This researcher will continue to work on the challenge described above, with the goal to develop new algorithms which can eventually lead to a better classification of lung disease as well as a plethora of other diseases. \u201cFor all of us at Quilvest it is very important to support biomedical researchers and help them accelerate their work through private funding. The COVID pandemic has taught us how important it is to support local research initiatives, and we are very proud of this new partnership with the University of Luxembourg\u201d, states Adrien de Boisanger, Chairman on the board of Quilvest.<\/p><p>Quilvest joins numerous companies and private funders who support the University\u2019s biomedical research, carried out at the LCSB and at the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine. Over the last 10 years, the LCSB has become one of Europe\u2019s leading institutes in the field of neurodegenerative disease research and employs more than 200 researchers from all over the world.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"about-quilvest\"\n    >\nAbout Quilvest<\/h3>\n<p>Quilvest is a leading global independent wealth manager and private equity investor dedicated to wealth preservation and generation.
