Senior🎓
Top SchoolMark Sendak is a healthcare technology entrepreneur and physician-data scientist with 11 years of experience building interdisciplinary teams that translate machine learning and analytics into population-health solutions. As Co-Founder and CEO of Vega Health and former Population Health & Data Science Lead at Duke Institute for Health Innovation, he has led pilots that produced IP and commercial spinouts for chronic kidney disease management and surgical complication prediction. Appointed to the ONC Health IT Advisory Committee, he blends clinical training (MD), policy grounding (MPP), and a mathematics BS to tackle both technical and systems-level barriers to new models of care. He is active in health AI leadership networks and maintains reproducible tools and writing (including an R package and HealthyDataScience resources) that reflect a practical, code-first approach to clinical impact. An atypical strength is his track record of moving ML projects from clinical trials into operational workflows and policy conversations.
