Before joining Lilly, he was the Dean and inaugural Department Chair for AI and Human Health at Mount Sinai, Director of the Hasso Plattner Institute for Digital Health at Mount Sinai, and the endowed Barbara T. Murphy Professor for AI and Computational Pathology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Prior to Mount Sinai, Dr. Fuchs held positions at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the California Institute of Technology, and founded three companies, including Paige AI.
