Summary
Yading Yuan is a physician-scientist and data-driven medical physicist who applies advanced computer vision and machine learning to improve cancer diagnosis, treatment planning, and outcome prediction. With over a decade of translational research experience and nine years in senior academic roles, he leads AI-enabled imaging projects that span tumor detection, segmentation, quantitative biomarkers, and treatment response evaluation. He co-founded Quantitative Insights, commercializing his group’s patents into QuantX—the first FDA-cleared AI platform for cancer diagnosis and a TIME-recognized top invention—demonstrating his ability to move algorithms from lab to clinical impact. At Mount Sinai and now Columbia, he has built interdisciplinary teams and trained residents while securing funding from DoD, NIH and industry. Notably, his deep-learning work has won top international medical imaging competitions, reflecting both methodological rigor and practical performance.
