Chirag Patel, PhD, is Associate Professor of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School. His long-term research goal is to address problems in human health and disease by developing computational methods to efficiently reason over high-throughput data streams spanning molecules to populations. His group studies inter-individual differences in human phenomes by integrating data that capture the comprehensive clinical experience, environmental exposures—including high-throughput measures of the exposome—and inherited genomic variation. The group is building computational models for dementia, diabetes, and other chronic diseases, and leading the "human exposome project." This research is supported by the National Institutes of Health, including NIA, NIDDK, and NIEHS, and by ARPA-H. Patel received his PhD and MS degrees in biomedical informatics from Stanford University.

Michelle Mello is a Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and Professor of Health Policy at Stanford University School of Medicine. She conducts empirical research into issues at the intersection of law, ethics, and health policy. She is the author of nearly 300 articles on artificial intelligence, medical liability and patient safety, ethical and legal issues arising in biomedical research, and other topics. She is co-director of the Healthcare Ethical Assessment Lab for Artificial Intelligence (HEAL-AI) at Stanford University, which conducts ethical assessments of AI tools proposed for deployment at Stanford Health Care facilities. Mello holds a Ph.D. in Health Policy and Administration in addition to a law degree.
