Patricia Kovatch joined the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai as the founding Dean for Scientific Computing and Data in 2011. She is a tenured professor in the Departments of AI and Human Health and Genetics and Genomic Sciences. Her arrival at Mount Sinai immediately elevated the institution’s computational and data ecosystem to a level beyond what most medical centers could imagine. These new data analytic capabilities helped Mount Sinai to usher in an era of precision medicine, bringing Mount Sinai recognition in the NY Times, Wired and Fast Company magazines. Kovatch and her team of experts at the intersection of technology, biomedical science, and medicine have enabled multi-scale, AI-powered science through close collaborations across the Mount Sinai Health System. These partnerships support over $200 million in computational and data science research annually, resulting in over 2,000 publications since 2012. She has been continuously funded by NIH since 2015.
