Michael Chary, M.D., Ph.D.
Instructor in Emergency Medicine
Dr. Chary’s research focuses on using artificial intelligence for drug discovery and syndromic surveillance. His overarching goals are to expand medical reasoning beyond the limits of human faculties and to use unstructured data from the Internet to identify spatiotemporal patterns of substance use, disease exposure, and disease manifestation. He uses natural language processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to create computational versions of medical and scientific knowledge to allow computers to reason about medicine as experienced clinicians might.
Dr. Chary graduated from New York University, and received his medical degree and doctorate from Mount Sinai School of Medicine. He completed a fellowship in emergency medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian/Queens Hospital and a fellowship in medical toxicology at Boston Children’s Hospital. He is board certified in both medical toxicology and emergency medicine.

Dr. Levine is also part of the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Collaborative Committee of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Clark Owyang, M.D.
Assistant Professor, Clinical Emergency Medicine
As an intensivist and emergency physician, Dr. Owyang serves the Weill Cornell Medicine community as faculty with joint appointments in the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine and Department of Emergency Medicine. His areas of research are ECMO in the ED and ICU, resuscitative transesophageal echocardiography, and the physiology of heart-lung interactions in critically ill patients. Recent peer-reviewed work has investigated venovenous ECMO in COVID-19, the physiology of assisted circulation devices in cardiogenic shock, and ECMO use across different types of ICUs via the ELSO Registry.
Junaid Razzak, Ph.D., M.B.B.S., F.A.C.E.P.
Professor, Emergency Medicine
Vice Chair, Research
Dr. Razzak is an accomplished researcher, with a wealth of research experience in emergency medicine, medical informatics and public health and is one the few NIH funded researchers in the area of global emergency medicine. In 2021, he was recruited to Weill Cornell as the Vice Chair of Research in the Department of Emergency Medicine from Johns Hopkins University, where he served as the director of the Center for Global Emergency Care and as a tenured professor of Emergency Medicine and International Health. He also worked at the NIH as a visiting scientist, leading NIH’s Collaborative on Emergency Care Research in LMICs (CLEER). Additionally, Dr. Razzak has published more than 130 peer reviewed manuscripts on topics ranging from emergency care and vulnerable communities to innovation and technology. Currently, as part of his focus on global health, Dr. Razzak is working with Aga Khan University in Pakistan to establish the Center of Excellence in Trauma and Emergencies.

Anthony Ehren Rosen, M.D., M.P.H.
Associate Professor, Emergency Medicine
Associate Director, Research
Dr. Rosen is a nationally recognized expert in geriatric emergency medicine. He currently serves on the Board of Governors for the American College of Emergency Physicians' (ACEP) recently launched Geriatric ED Accreditation process. He is a core faculty member of the Geriatric ED Collaborative and is a contributor to the NIH-funded Geriatric Emergency Care Applied Research (GEAR) Task Force. From 2019-2020, he served as president of the Academy of Geriatric Emergency Medicine.
Dr. Rosen’s research focuses on improving identification, intervention, and prevention of elder abuse in the ED and other health care settings. Dr. Rosen has contributed as a co-author on 53 original scientific publications in this focused area and has led the development of a first-of-its kind multi-disciplinary clinical intervention program.

With local academic and community partners, Dr. Sundararajan developed an HIV testing program where Ugandan traditional healers successfully delivered point-of-care HIV testing directly to clients of unknown HIV serostatus. She has conducted mixed methods and implementation research on both infectious and non-communicable disease in India, Mozambique, Uganda, and Tanzania.
