“With this support from JST, we will conduct international joint research on medical AI, with a focus on student and young researcher exchanges with DFKI,” explained Professor Kise, who has for many years been at the center of collaborative exchanges with OMU and the German research center. “Not only is DFKI a global center for artificial intelligence with a long history since its founding in 1988, but it is also a world-leading organization in terms of contributions to various industries and the creation of startups. Through our research collaboration, we hope to develop many globally ready OMU researchers.”
