CACHE Trustee Juergen Hahn elected to European Academy of Sciences and Arts

CACHE trustee Juergen Hahn (professor and Director of the Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) has been elected to the European Academy of Sciences and Arts.

From RPI's press release:

Hahn is the first RPI faculty member to be elected to this academy, an international organization of top scientists, artists, and decision makers that includes 38 Nobel laureates. With its deep scientific and technical knowledge, this network of experts is also a resource for government leaders shaping policies and initiatives that impact their communities.

One of his ongoing research projects uses artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to look for patterns in blood samples of children with autism. In a 2017 study, Hahn and his colleagues found that children with an autism diagnosis have significantly different metabolite levels in their blood compared to children who are developing typically. 

Building on this research, Hahn will use these AI tools to uncover metabolite differences between children with an autism diagnosis and those who have developmental delays unrelated to autism.
