Mike Hawrylycz joined the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle, Washington, in 2003 as director of informatics and one of the institute’s first staff. His group is responsible for developing algorithms and computational approaches in the development of multimodal brain atlases, and in data analysis and annotation. Hawrylycz has worked in a variety of applied mathematics and computer science areas, addressing challenges in consumer and investment finance, electrical engineering and image processing, and computational biology and genomics. He received his Ph.D. in applied mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and subsequently was a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Nonlinear Studies at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.

Large-scale neuroimaging datasets often lack information specific to women’s health, constraining AI’s analysis potential
Addressing this gap will require collecting widespread data on pregnancy, menopause and other life events women experience—and could bring us closer to the “holy grail” of linking brain and behavior.
