As a computer scientist, James’ interest in pathology stems from a desire to create artificial intelligence (AI) that benefits people. Compelled by the field’s proximity to patients and richness of data, James has earned a reputation as a trailblazer in computational pathology. Currently, James – who is Assistant Professor of Biomedical Data Science and an inaugural Chan-Zuckerberg Investigator at Stanford University – works on data valuation, reducing bias and stereotype in AI, bringing machine learning to health and biotechnology, and more. He also used to moonlight as a movie, theater, and restaurant reviewer!
