Biography
Mary M. Saltz, MD, is a Clinical Professor in the Departments of Radiology and Biomedical Informatics at Stony Brook University. She serves as Chief Clinical Integration Officer for Community Practice Initiatives at Stony Brook Medicine, Chief Medical Information Officer for the Stony Brook Cancer Center, and Chief Clinical Lead for the Suffolk County DSRIP program.
Dr. Saltz has led several radiology departments. Trained in interventional radiology, she has extensive experience in lung cancer imaging interpretation and image-guided lung biopsies.
Her research spans population health, where she analyzes who a population is, what diseases they have, and how well they are, and image analysis of pathology slides using artificial intelligence and deep learning to see beyond what the human eye can detect and to establish radiology-pathology correlations. She also studies the relationship between genomic expression, patient survival, pathology findings, and radiology to identify the most effective personalized therapies for each patient.
Dr. Saltz describes the Department of Biomedical Informatics as a dynamic, multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, and professionals from across health care, bridging the gap between health care technology and medical research. She encourages prospective students from clinical backgrounds to apply, noting that integrating doctors and nurses into BMI helps the department know what questions to ask.
