Mark A. Musen (NAM) is a professor of biomedical informatics at Stanford University, where he is the director of the Stanford Center for Biomedical Informatics Research. He conducts research related to open science, data stewardship, intelligent systems, and biomedical decision support. His group developed Protégé, the world's most widely used technology for building and managing terminologies and ontologies.

He is principal investigator of the National Center for Biomedical Ontology. He is a principal investigator of the Center for Expanded Data Annotation and Retrieval. He has chaired the Health Informatics and Modeling Topic Advisory Group for the World Health Organization (WHO)'s revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) and directs the WHO Collaborating Center for Classification, Terminology, and Standards at Stanford University.

He has been elected to the American College of Medical Informatics, the Association of American Physicians, the International Academy of Health Sciences Informatics, and the National Academy of Medicine. He is founding co-editor-in-chief of the journal Applied Ontology. He received his Ph.D. in medical information sciences at Stanford University.

Cui Tao, PhD, Department of Artificial Intelligence and Informatics, Mayo Clinic, tao.cui@mayo.edu

Cui Tao is the inaugural Enterprise Chair of the Department of Artificial Intelligence and Informatics at Mayo Clinic. She serves as Vice President of Mayo Clinic Platform and the Enterprise Deputy Co-director of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at the Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center. She is a Professor of Biomedical Informatics and an elected fellow of the American College of Medical Informatics.

Her background is in clinical informatics and computer science, and her research interests include ontologies, knowledge graphs, predictive modeling, deep learning, large language models, as well as applying these technologies to clinical and translational studies. She is a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the highest honor bestowed by the United States Government on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers. Her collective research funding surpasses $30 million. She has a Ph.D. in computer science from Brigham Young University.

Catherine A. Hartley, PhD, New York University

Catherine Hartley is an associate professor of psychology and neural science at New York University. Her research focuses on characterizing the changes in cognitive representations and computations that inform learning and decision-making across development, and how dynamic changes in brain circuits give rise to these processes.

A goal of her research is to understand the costs and benefits associated with how individuals learn and make decisions at different developmental stages, as well as how specific learning and decision-making biases contribute to psychological vulnerability or resilience. She sits on the board of the Society for Neuroeconomics, the Social Affective Neuroscience Society, and the Flux Society, and is a fellow of the Association for Psychological Science. She received her B.S. in symbolic systems from Stanford University, her Ph.D. in psychology from New York University, and conducted her postdoctoral training at the Sackler Institute for Developmental Psychobiology at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Timothy Strauman, PhD, Duke University, tjstraum@duke.edu

Timothy J. Strauman is a professor and former chair of the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University and also professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences in the Duke University School of Medicine. His research interests focus on the psychological and neurobiological processes of self-regulation, conceptualized in terms of a cognitive/motivational perspective, as well as on the relation between self-regulation and affect and how such processes might contribute to psychopathology.

His lab's clinically focused research includes the development and validation of a new self-regulation-based therapy for depression, self-system therapy, and the use of neuroimaging techniques to examine the mechanisms of action of treatments for depression. He is a former president of the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science, a fellow of the Association for Psychological Science, a current member of the Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences, and a founding fellow of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy. He has a Ph.D. in psychology from New York University.
