M.D., Ph.D.

Chief Data Officer and Institute Scientist

Co-Director, Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center

Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard

Anthony Philippakis is the chief data officer of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and the co-director of the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center.

He trained as a cardiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, with a focus on rare genetic cardiovascular diseases. At the Broad Institute he is the founding director of the Data Sciences Platform, an organization of over 200 software engineers and computational biologists that develops software for analyzing genomic and clinical data. In addition to his roles at the Broad Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Philippakis is a venture partner at GV, focusing on machine learning, distributed computing, and genomics.

Philippakis received his M.D. from Harvard Medical School and completed a Ph.D. in biophysics at Harvard. As an undergraduate, he studied mathematics at Yale University, and later completed the Part III (equivalent to M.Phil.) in mathematics at Cambridge University.

Artificial Intelligence-Enabled ECG Analysis to Predict Incident Heart Failure

Published On 2026 Feb 23

Journal article

CONCLUSIONS: ECG2HF is a publicly available 12-lead ECG-based artificial intelligence model that discriminates the risk of future HF with favorable and consistent performance across 3 large health care samples from the northeastern United States. ECG2HF may enable efficient prioritization of high-risk individuals for HF-related preventive measures.


Electrocardiogram-Based Artificial Intelligence to Identify Coronary Artery Disease

Published On 2025 Aug 01

Journal article

CONCLUSIONS: Artificial intelligence-enabled analysis of the ECG may facilitate identification of individuals with possible undiagnosed CAD and inform downstream testing and preventive measures.
