John Crary

John F. Crary is a board-certified neuropathologist and physician-scientist at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where he directs the Neuropathology Brain Bank & Research CoRE and leads a translational program at the intersection of human tissue “ground truth” and modern AI. His work has helped shape consensus criteria across major tauopathies while pioneering computational neuropathology approaches that learn directly from whole-slide histology to predict neuroanatomy, clinical phenotypes, and brain aging trajectories. He is equally focused on building the infrastructure that makes discovery inevitable: scalable brain banking, digital pathology datasets, and human stem-cell models that connect mechanistic biology to real-world disease.
