Stanford Division of Computational Medicine
Mark Musen MD, PhD
Division Chief & Professor of Medicine, Computational Medicine
Message from the Division Chief:
The Division of Computational Medicine in the Department of Medicine develops the information science, computational technology, and standards needed to advance modern healthcare and biomedical research efficiently and safely. Located at the Stanford Research Park, we create and apply computational methods for the management, communication, and analysis of complex biomedical data and knowledge. Our close connection with Stanford’s world-class healthcare delivery system, biomedical research community, and industry partners uniquely enables Computational Medicine to translate scientific discovery into tools that are used routinely in real-world settings.

Latest News
Division Chief Dr. Mark Musen awarded $20 Million for National AI-Enabled Cloud Laboratory Network
Stanford researchers have received $20 million as part of a new $400 million national initiative to build a network of AI-enabled, remotely operated laboratories. Led at Stanford by Mark Musen (pictured), the four-year project brings together collaborators from Purdue University, Morehouse College, and Emerald Cloud Lab to advance automated scientific experimentation. The Stanford team will also develop shared standards that will allow researchers to exchange cloud-lab specifications across the broader network of 20 awardees. The initiative is a core National Science Foundation contribution to the federal Genesis Mission, which seeks to harness AI to accelerate scientific discovery.
Big Ideas from Stanford Health AI Week
Speakers from academia, industry, government and nonprofits explored developing and implementing artificial intelligence in medicine responsibly, effectively and reliably.
Physician-Reported Safety Outcomes of AI-Generated Hospital Course Summaries
A new JAMA Network Open study found that an AI-powered workflow for generating hospital discharge summaries was associated with reduced physician burnout and minimal reported safety risk during real-world clinical deployment. Authored by colleagues across DoM’s Divisions of Hospital Medicine and Computational Medicine, the Clinical Excellence Research Center, and Stanford colleagues.
