Carr, MD, MA, MS, Chief Executive Officer and the Kenneth L. Davis, MD, Distinguished Chair, Mount Sinai Health System. “This year, my colleagues will explore the emerging science of aging and inflammation and how Mount Sinai is harnessing AI to propel science and health care innovation. Our goal, as a learning health system, is to solve the world’s most complex health and science challenges to improve health of people everywhere.”
