The Technical University of Dortmund and Essen University Hospital are welcoming a group of students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Boston University for the first time as part of the newly created BRIDGE.nrw exchange program. The young scientists are currently completing a research internship in the groups of Prof. Schneider (Medical and Biological Physics, TU Dortmund University) or Prof. Jens Kleesiek (Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (IKIM), University Hospital Essen).
