Lior Jankelson

Dr. Lior Jankelson, M.D., Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at NYU Tandon School of Engineering. He serves as an Attending Physician at NYU Langone Health. Dr. Jankelson is also the Director of the Inherited Arrhythmia and Cardiovascular Genetics Program at the Heart Rhythm Center, NYU Langone Health. Additionally, he has been the Lead for AI in Cardiology and is the Director of the AI in Cardiology Group.
His educational journey includes an M.D. and a Ph.D. in Biophysics, all from the Technion Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel.
A physician-scientist, Dr. Jankelson is dedicated to applied research in computational cardiology. His primary research interests encompass machine learning in cardiology, data analytics for cardiac electrophysiology interventions, and genetic analytics for heritable cardiovascular disease. His research group at NYU focuses on developing and applying statistical and computational methods to diverse datasets to gain new diagnostic and therapeutic insights into heart rhythm diseases. This work involves creating machine learning algorithms for EKG analysis, advanced data analytics for mapping and ablation systems, and computing for genetic cardiology. His team also develops and applies agentic AI tools to enhance patient care.
Beyond his academic and clinical roles, Dr. Jankelson has engaged in entrepreneurial activities, including founding GuidelineGenetics and Anchora Medical. He is also regularly serving on advisory boards of leading biomedical companies.
In his clinical practice, Dr. Jankelson was recruited to the NYU Division of Cardiology as an attending cardiac electrophysiologist after completing his fellowship at NYU. As director of the Inherited Arrhythmia/CV Genetics Program, he has built a team that uses advanced computational analytic tools to improve genetic medicine, assisting cardiologists throughout the NYU Langone Health system in better characterizing and treating patients with heritable cardiovascular conditions.
Dr. Jankelson has a significant publication record, including numerous peer-reviewed articles in prestigious journals such as the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Nature Medicine, and Heart Rhythm. He has also contributed to book chapters and holds several patents related to biophysical compositions and cardiac electrophysiology devices.
