The Center will advance personalized medicine through multi-omics research and will collaborate with Mount Sinai’s Center for Child Health Services Research to enhance health care delivery.

Operating under The Mindich Child Health and Development Institute, the Center is co-sponsored by the Windreich Department of AI and Human Health at Mount Sinai, which is led by Dr. Girish N. Nadkarni.

Dr. Glicksberg pointed out that pediatric medicine has historically lagged in AI adoption due to privacy concerns, regulatory challenges, and limited data infrastructure, issues the Center aims to tackle.

Leading this innovative initiative is Dr. Benjamin S. Glicksberg, an expert in digital health, marking the Center as the first of its kind in New York City.

Dr. Brendan G. Carr, CEO of Mount Sinai, highlighted the Center's significance in positioning the institution at the forefront of health care innovation for pediatric patients.

The Mindich Institute, which houses the Center, boasts over 100 faculty members specializing in various pediatric health areas, including genetics and chronic diseases, with a mission to personalize medicine through research and collaboration.

Dr. Glicksberg brings a wealth of experience in digital health and genomics, having previously worked in both academia and industry to bridge the gap between research and clinical care.

Mount Sinai has launched a pioneering Center dedicated to developing AI solutions aimed at enhancing diagnostics, personalizing treatment, and optimizing health care delivery for children and adolescents.

His background includes significant roles in genetics, drug discovery, and AI research, reinforcing his capability to lead this transformative initiative.

He emphasized the urgent need for advancements in pediatric medicine, particularly in overcoming the barriers that have hindered AI integration.

The collaboration with the Windreich Department underscores a commitment to the responsible and effective application of AI in health care.
