Eliezer Van Allen is the Chief of Population Sciences at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and a Professor at Harvard Medical School, where he holds the Chandra Nohria Family Chair for AI in Cancer Research. An alumnus of Stanford and UCLA, his work merges computational biology and genomics to advance precision oncology for genitourinary cancers.

His career path was profoundly influenced by co-founding Camp Kesem, a camp for children whose parents have cancer, which motivated him to apply his computer science background to medicine. He is a self-described computer nerd who finds passion in using data and code to solve complex puzzles in cancer biology and patient care.

He believes that artificial intelligence holds the promise to "re-humanize medicine" by automating administrative tasks and allowing clinicians more time for direct patient connection.
