Regina Barzilay
Professor of AI and Health; AI Faculty Lead
MIT Jameel Clinic
Her clinical AI and drug-discovery machine learning work set research standards that hospitals and life sciences buyers still cite.
Regina Barzilay is a School of Engineering Distinguished Professor of AI and Health at MIT and AI Faculty Lead at the MIT Jameel Clinic. Her research covers clinical machine learning, including early cancer risk models from imaging and records, and machine learning for drug discovery.
She is a MacArthur Fellow and a member of the National Academy of Medicine. Outside MIT, her work is often referenced when health systems and pharmaceutical teams debate what counts as serious medical AI versus a thin model wrapper.
She is included here for academic and translational influence, not as a commercial health tech CEO.
