Dr. Jay Shah and I speak with Dr. James Min, the Founder, and CEO of Cleerly, a pioneer in the application of Artificial Intelligence to better identify patients at risk for heart disease. Based on over a decade of foundational research, Cleerly represents the natural progression of the pioneering work that Dr. Min and his team performed at The Dalio Institute of Cardiovascular Imaging at New York Presbyterian Hospital.

James is a former Professor of Radiology and Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College. He is a board-certified cardiologist with a clinical focus on cardiovascular disease prevention and imaging. In total, Dr. Min has published more than 500 peer-reviewed manuscripts and served as Principal Investigator on numerous landmark clinical trials and registries. James received his BA from the University of Chicago and his medical degree from Temple University. He completed his residency and fellowship at the University of Chicago Hospitals.

In this episode, we discuss Dr. Min's transition from academic medicine into building an innovative start-up and the lessons he's learned along the way.
