Indiana University School of Medicine's Kun Huang, PhD, professor and chair of the Department of Biostatistics and Health Data Science, has been named one of 24 new fellows of the American College of Medical Informatics (ACMI).
Huang was inducted as a fellow Nov. 16 during a ceremonial dinner at the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) 2025 Annual Symposium, the premier event for medical informatics. The symposium highlights work in translational bioinformatics, clinical research informatics, clinical informatics, consumer health informatics and public health informatics.
ACMI is a college of elected fellows within AMIA who have made significant and sustained contributions to biomedical and health informatics. Fellows have achieved national recognition in the field and are committed to advancing ACMI’s charitable, scientific, literary and educational purposes are eligible for membership. New fellows are elected for life by voting members of ACMI.
Huang is an internationally recognized leader in bioinformatics and computational pathology. He joined the IU School of Medicine in 2017 with a joint appointment to the Regenstrief Institute as a research scientist in the Clem McDonald Center for Biomedical Informatics. In addition to serving as professor and chair of the Department of Biostatistics and Health Data Science, Huang is associate director of data science in the IU Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center and a senior investigator for the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics. He is also a fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering.
Huang's research focuses on translational bioinformatics, computational pathology, medical imaging, computational biology, integrative genomics tools for precision health, computer vision and machine learning. He applies these tools to improve clinical practice and accelerate scientific discovery, leveraging research to transform patient care. As department chair, he supports the growth and development of faculty members and the department, fostering collaborations with researchers at IU and other institutions, as well as industry partners.
