I am a staff research scientist and a research lead at Google DeepMind. My research is focused on developing approaches that facilitate the translation of AI solutions into tangible clinical impact.  I am particularly interested in designing foundation models and agents for biomedical applications and have been leading a couple of major efforts in this area. I am one of the research leads driving the ambitious effort behind the creation of REMEDIES, Med-PaLM, Med-PaLM 2, Med-PaLM M, and Med-Gemini which are Google's flagship models, meticulously designed for medical applications.

My research has been published in well-regarded journals and conferences such as Nature, Nature Medicine, Nature Biomedical Engineering, and CVPR and it serves as the cornerstone for multiple medical device products undergoing clinical trials at Google.

My research has been covered in various media outlets and recognized by multiple awards including the Governor General’s Canada Academic Gold Medal for contributions in improving diagnostic ultrasound.
