Professor of Pathology, Molecular and Cell-Based Medicine, Neuroscience, and AI & Human Health; Vice Chair for AI, Department of Pathology, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
John F. Crary is a tenured Professor of Pathology, Molecular and Cell-Based Medicine, Neuroscience, and Artificial Intelligence and Human Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where he serves as Vice Chair for Artificial Intelligence in the Department of Pathology and founding director of the Neuropathology Brain Bank and Research CoRE. A board-certified neuropathologist, he led the 2014 international consensus defining Primary Age-Related Tauopathy (PART), cited over 1,130 times, and identified the JADE1 gene as a novel genetic risk factor for tau pathology. He developed HistoAge, the first AI algorithm to predict biological brain age from histopathology slides, and collaborated on an AI system detecting alpha-synuclein pathology in peripheral biopsy tissue with 99% sensitivity and specificity (clinical PD prediction ~71%/65%).
