Vincent A. Laufer, M.D., Ph.D., is a physician–scientist with expertise in molecular genetics, clinical informatics, bioinformatics, and artificial intelligence. He is an Instructor in the Department of Pathology at the University of Michigan and is the founder and Chief Genomics Officer of Feature Forge AI, a software, consultancy, and holding firm dedicated to transparency of AI models for biomedicine.
Dr. Laufer’s research integrates statistical genetics, next-generation sequencing, and artificial intelligence to improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical decision support. He has developed bioinformatics pipelines aligned with professional and regulatory frameworks (AMP/ASCO/CAP, FDA, EU AI Act) for use in clinical molecular diagnostics. His work also extends to polygenic risk modeling, genetic variant interpretation, multi-omic data integration for translational medicine, and mechanistic interpretability methodologies for AI models.
He received his M.D. and Ph.D. in Genetics from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where he studied genetic susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis across global populations and was awarded the William Boyd Medal in Pathology. His current efforts include mentoring trainees, advancing regulatory policy for AI in healthcare, and building scalable infrastructures for precision diagnostics in diverse populations. Dr. Laufer is open to academic and private inquiries, especially at the intersection of clinical molecular genetics and artificial intelligence.
