Prof. Alexander Meyer, MD, is a leading physician-scientist specializing in cardiovascular medicine, data science, and artificial intelligence. He is the Charité Professor for Clinical AI and Data Science at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, serves as Chief Medical Information Officer at the German Heart Center of the Charité (DHZC), where he oversees digital innovation in patient care, and leads a BIFOLD research group. He also leads DHZC's Clinical Data Science Group and is a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon.
Before transitioning to medicine, Prof. Meyer worked as a computer scientist and software developer, combining technical expertise with clinical practice. In 2016, he joined the Berlin Institute of Health’s (BIH) Clinician Scientist Program and participated in the Digital Health Accelerator from 2018 to 2020. During this time, he founded x-cardiac GmbH, a digital health company providing real-time biomarkers for postoperative risk stratification.
As a Principal Investigator in major research initiatives, Prof. Meyer focuses on data science and AI to enhance clinical decision-making and outcomes, particularly in cardiovascular care.
