Helmholtz Munich's Computational Health Center wrapped up a PI retreat with more than 30 principal investigators at Kochel am See.
Key takeaways:
- Concrete plans for building a "Virtual Human": connecting models across scales, bridging efforts across labs, and combining individual projects into something bigger than the sum of its parts.
- A meta session on using AI to organize and run labs, from supporting scientific workflows to deploying an agent for the dreaded German travel expense reports. Attendees swapped many practical tricks.
