Simon Gutwein is a research associate at the ELIA Group at CIR and pursuing his PhD at the Computer Vision Lab at TU Wien in collaboration with the Taschner-Mandl Group at the Children Cancer Research Institute (CCRI) and ELIA Group at CIR.

He obtained his Bachelor's in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Applied Sciences Saar and graduated the Master study of Medical Radiation Sciences at the University of Tübingen.

His research interest lies in computational biology and deep learning applications, with a focus on analyzing high-dimensional imaging data from advanced techniques like Imaging Mass Cytometry (IMC) and Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization (FISH). His work aims to address the critical challenges in biological image analysis by developing scalable, interpretable, and efficient computational frameworks. He is passionate about using machine learning to unlock new insights into cell-type heterogeneity, spatial organization, and genetic aberrations in complex tissues.

Since May 2024 he is a visiting research fellow at the PSL University, Institut Curie and INSERM, in Paris, France under the supervision of Thomas Walter. Link
