Andrew Bishara, MD
Dr. Bishara is a physician-scientist with a background in machine learning, perioperative informatics, and mechanical engineering, and a board-certified practicing anesthesiologist. He studied mechanical engineering at MIT, earned his MD at Harvard Medical School, completed his anesthesia residency at UCSF, and pursued postdoctoral training in artificial intelligence and medical informatics at UCSF. His research focuses on improving perioperative outcomes through real-time prediction, physiologic modeling, and intelligent decision support to reduce surgical complications and personalize anesthesia care.
Establishing practical frameworks for clinician-facing perioperative AI to guide future human-machine systems in medicine
Dr. Bishara’s lab develops and implements predictive models for reducing surgical complications (e.g. kidney injury, chronic pain, delirium), reinforcement-learning agents for intraoperative management, perioperative physiologic models, and novel devices that support precision perioperative medicine.
