Lucila Ohno-Machado

Lucila Ohno-Machado is a leading figure in biomedical informatics whose work on machine learning clinical prediction models has directly advanced AI-based decision support for oncology including cancer outcome prediction and treatment response modeling. Her research on federated learning enables training of cancer AI models across multiple institutions without sharing patient data, addressing privacy barriers that have limited the development of robust oncology CDS tools. She has been instrumental in identifying and mitigating algorithmic bias in clinical AI systems that could exacerbate cancer care disparities.
