Contributed to the 23rd BONFOR Symposium in Bonn, Germany
At the 23rd BONFOR Symposium on Wednesday, 7 May 2025, held in the DZNE Lecture Hall at University Hospital Bonn, Albarqouni Lab actively showcased its current research by delivering concise oral presentations during the afternoon’s Doctoral Promotion Fair. Our team highlighted a diverse portfolio of projects—ranging from advanced image‐analysis pipelines to AI-driven diagnostic tools—and outlined potential MD-thesis topics for interested students, fostering in-depth discussions about methodological approaches and future research directions. By engaging directly with medical students, the lab not only raised awareness of its work but also provided guidance on how to embark on cutting-edge thesis projects within our group, thereby strengthening the pipeline of young clinician-scientists
Elodie Germani
Postdoctoral Researcher
Elodie Germani works with Prof. Shadi Albarqouni as a postdoctoral researcher. She did her PhD at the University of Rennes, under the supervision of Dr. Camille Maumet and Prof. Elisa Fromont. After four years of medicine school at the University of Versailles, she took a shift in her career and started a Master’s degree in bioinformatics. Her research focuses on exploring, modelling and building solutions to take into account the variability of data in medical imaging, particularly using deep representation learning. During her PhD, her goal was to facilitate the re-use of data shared on public databases by taking into account the different sources of variability. In the future, she would like to focus more in the use of real-world data and on the robustness of machine learning models to dataset shifts and privacy attacks.
