AI and big data in the laboratory

A lot of data is generated in the laboratory – not only when it comes to diagnostics, but also in research and clinical studies. With existing methods, we can hardly structure and use these data volumes. This makes it all the more important to use algorithms that search for patterns in the data for us and thus help us find the answers we are looking for.
