Burhan Adhami

I'm Burhan, a D.O. and PhD candidate building Mela, a computational dermatology tool that reads your skin over time and shows its work. The core principle: the recommendation is never for sale, the read stays walled off from anything we might sell. My background spans med-device, biotech, and state government, with research in cancer genetics and a dissertation on rural telehealth access. I also teach quantitative analysis at Loyola and evaluate healthcare innovation the way I've had to build it: clinically grounded and skeptical. Ask me about building Mela, AI in health systems, rural telehealth, and navigating medtech regulation.
