About us

Our vision
Make personalised cancer therapy the standard.
Our mission
Access cell intelligence using ai and leverage it to improve patient individual cancer therapy.
Our Roots

LABMaiTE began as a visionary collaborative project between BioThera Roland Mertelsmann Foundation, the University of Freiburg and the University Hospital, Freiburg.

These institutions ensure our commitment to excellence and guide us to the real problems to solve while we evolve into an innovative, passionate and interdisciplinary team. 

We unite AI, biology and engineering to redefine how we approach research, aiming to assist researchers and doctors by rewriting the script for cancer diagnosis to the point where it doesn’t change a patient’s life forever anymore. 

Our Journey

Our mission is to assist researchers and doctors with the latest AI technology, enabling them to quickly test and iterate on ideas, by offering customized microscopy analysis, data insights, and smart experimental design. 

Our goal is to bridge the gap between data and discovery, thus revolutionizing the way we understand cell characteristics. 

Join us on this journey as we transform the future, one cell at a time. 

Personalised cancer therapy.

LABMaiTE started in 2019 as a project of the BioThera Roland Mertelsmann Foundation at the University of Freiburg and the University Hospital, Freiburg.

These institutions have continued to be our partners and mentors in building the project.
The very basis of the project was an interdisciplinary approach to understanding cell characteristics and responses to access their intelligence.
This approach is truly reflected not only in our team but also our supervisory and scientific advisory boards.

our team

Our team members bring with them competencies in the areas of software development, hardware design, bioscience, business development, project management, and marketing, while the supervisory and scientific advisory boards consist of experts in the fields of oncology, cell culture & microscopy, ai research, and finance.
