Pioneering the integration of artificial intelligence into clinical practice to transform patient care, advance medical knowledge, and ensure safe deployment of AI in healthcare.
Professor & Chair, Department of Biomedical Informatics
Editor-in-Chief, NEJM AI
What I'm working on now →Our work spans three interconnected domains that are reshaping the future of medicine
Developing AI tools that enhance diagnosis, treatment, and clinical decision-making. From early detection of growth disorders to diagnosis of rare diseases.
Ensuring AI systems align with ethical principles, cultural values, and patient preferences. Developing frameworks for value-based clinical decision support.
Empowering patients with granular control over their health data through innovative protocols like PING and Guardian Angel for secure, auditable data sharing.
Key contributions over 30+ years of research

Our lab brings together graduate students, postdocs, and visitors from diverse backgrounds to tackle medicine's most pressing challenges through computational innovation.
"The skill we most treasure and work to nurture in our lab is the ability to ask interesting, important, and potentially answerable questions."
