AI Innovation Center at Wilmer
Wilmer Eye announced on September 12 the establishment of the James P. Gills Jr., M.D. & Heather Gills Artificial Intelligence Innovation Center. The center will function as a hub for investigating and implementing the use of artificial intelligence in clinical research, scientist and physician education and patient care, all to support the center’s primary mission of preserving patients’ vision and eliminating blindness.
The center will be led by T.Y. Alvin Liu, M.D., who has been nominated to hold the James P. Gills Jr., M.D., and Heather Gills Rising Professorship of Artificial Intelligence in Ophthalmology.
Funding for the center was generously provided by Wilmer alum James P. Gills Jr., M.D., and his wife, Heather. We marked this exciting news last week with a celebration in the Robert H. and Clarice Smith Building.
