Christian Meisel

Christian Meisel is a Professor and Group Leader in Computational Neurology at the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) and a Senior Physician at the Charité Department of Neurology in Berlin. He leads a research group focused on applying artificial intelligence and data analytics to transform neurological care through wearable sensors and real-time monitoring systems.

Education:

• Studied Physics and Medicine at the University of Freiburg and Stanford University
• Completed neurology residency at University Hospital Dresden
• Fellowships at Max Planck Institute for Physics of Complex Systems and National Institutes of Health (NIH)

Meisel's research integrates AI with multimodal time-series data to advance neurological diagnostics and treatment. His work spans three core areas: real-time inpatient monitoring systems for stroke and intensive care units to predict clinical deterioration; long-term outpatient seizure prediction using wearable sensors for epilepsy patients; and fundamental investigations into brain network dynamics. He prioritizes rapid translation of computational methods from bench to bedside, leveraging Charité's clinical integration to develop preemptive therapeutic interventions.

Scientific Awards:

• Schilling Foundation-Professorship in Computational Neurology (2024), a €3 million endowed chair recognizing clinically oriented basic research excellence

Funded by the Hermann and Lilly Schilling Foundation's 50th-anniversary initiative, Meisel's research program establishes computational neurology as a formal discipline across research, teaching, and clinical practice. His team develops AI-driven tools for continuous risk assessment in critical neurological conditions, with industry partnerships accelerating real-world implementation. As Schilling Professor, he builds permanent structures to translate big data analytics into improved patient outcomes for stroke, epilepsy, and intensive care neurology.
