Philipp Unberath

Philipp Unberath serves as Professor of Psychology at SRH University since 2022, holding a habilitation in psychology from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) awarded in 2023. His career bridges clinical psychology practice and biomedical informatics innovation, with prior roles including 18 years as Research Assistant at FAU (2004-2022) focusing on legal psychology and developmental disorders.

His research integrates artificial intelligence with healthcare through two complementary threads:

• Biomedical Informatics: Leading technical development of cancer genomics platforms (cBioPortal extensions, molecular tumor board systems, clinical decision support tools)
• Clinical Psychology: Specializing in developmental/abnormal psychology, legal psychology, and prevention programs for children/families

This dual expertise enables human-centered design of healthcare IT systems that address both technical and psychological dimensions of patient care.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2019-2023) reveals a strategic pivot toward precision oncology informatics, with 80% of recent work focused on genomic data integration, molecular tumor boards, and clinical decision support systems. His psychological background informs usability studies and workflow implementations, creating a distinctive niche at the AI-healthcare-psychology intersection.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Bavarian doctoral scholarship (2002-2004)
• Continuous high-impact publication in biomedical informatics (JMIR, Cancers, BMC Med Inform)

As an active principal investigator, Prof. Unberath directs grant-funded projects developing clinical-genomic integration platforms. His supervision approach combines technical mentorship in health informatics with clinical psychology perspectives, preparing students for interdisciplinary healthcare innovation roles. Current work focuses on real-world implementation of AI-driven decision support in oncology settings.
