Marina Zimmermann

Marina Zimmermann is a Research Fellow at the University of Hamburg, affiliated with the Institute of Medical Systems Bioinformatics within the Center for Molecular Neurobiology Hamburg (ZMNH). Her work focuses on computational pathology, AI-driven medical diagnostics, and advanced microscopy techniques. She specializes in applying deep learning to kidney disease analysis, ophthalmic diagnostics, and molecular profiling of clinical specimens.

Her research interests include explainable AI in medical imaging, overcoming laboratory bias in microscopic image analysis, and developing novel tools for renal pathology and cholangitis diagnosis. She has contributed to super-resolution microscopy innovations and automated classification frameworks for conditions like diabetic retinopathy and membranous nephropathy.

Zimmermann’s recent work emphasizes nano-scale molecular profiling and interpretable cancer relapse prediction, bridging computational methods with clinical applications. Her lab integrates interdisciplinary approaches from bioinformatics, machine learning, and clinical pathology to advance diagnostic precision.
