Summary
Dexter Hadley is a physician-scientist and founder who builds regulated clinical AI platforms that move from research to real-world care, currently leading CANONIC — GOV AI and MammoChat while PI of HadleyLab. He combines an MD/PhD from UPenn with 11+ years translating AI into medicine across UCSF, UCF, and Stanford, and has attracted $35M+ in research funding and an active clinical trial targeting 20,000 patients. His CANONIC system encodes compliance as code across eight dimensions (ownership, provenance, transparency, security, interoperability, quality, accountability, consent), reflecting a rare focus on provable, production-grade governance for AI artifacts. As Founding Chief of AI at UCF College of Medicine and director-level roles in precision medicine, he bridges genomics, imaging, and clinical operations to deploy products like MammoChat, OncoChat, and OmicsChat. He also advises genomics and dermatology startups and contributes to standards work (IEEE P3673), blending hands-on product delivery with policy-minded architecture. Based in Orlando, he’s pursuing a patent-pending stack where “if it compiles, it’s compliant,” signaling an engineer’s pragmatism applied to regulatory complexity.
