Matt Might is a computer scientist, academic, and precision medicine leader whose work connects data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and formal reasoning with biomedical research. He is a professor of Internal Medicine and Computer Science and directs the Hugh Kaul Precision Medicine Institute at the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Heersink School of Medicine. He is also co-director of the Center for Precision Animal Modeling and a senior lecturer in Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School.

Might’s commitment to precision medicine grew from seeking a diagnosis and treatment for his son, Bertrand, who was the first identified case of a novel genetic disorder. He now focuses on helping patients with complex medical challenges and advancing individualized treatments. His institute’s research spans computational and bench science, including oligonucleotide therapeutics, model organisms, drug screening, and medicinal chemistry.
