Dr. Lina Shehadeh

AIH is delighted to welcome Dr. Lina Shehadeh, PhD, Director of AI Research and Educational Innovation and Research Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine) at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, as a keynote speaker at VISA-IH 2026.

Dr. Shehadeh works where artificial intelligence meets biomedical research and education. She develops new ways to democratize the creation of quality educational content and collaborative learning platforms using no-code AI tools, and her education research focuses on integrating compassion and cultural competence into training.

A cardiovascular scientist with a PhD in Complex Systems and Brain Sciences, she leads a laboratory that uses computational biology and genomic data mining to study how microRNAs regulate atherosclerosis and stem cell differentiation. She has authored 98 publications, holds patents on microRNA-based and osteopontin-targeted therapies, has served on NIH NHLBI study sections, and has received several Researcher of the Year awards from the Florida Heart Research Institute.

We are honored to have Dr. Shehadeh share her perspective on how AI can transform medical research and education, and we warmly invite every participant to join her keynote.
