Martin Willemink, MD PhD FSCCTCo Founder

United States - San Diego, California

As a physician, epidemiologist, biomedical engineer, scientist, and entrepreneur, I am optimizing healthcare by translating clinical needs into technical solutions. I am co-founder at Segmed, the fastest growing self-serve platform for diverse, high quality, de-identified medical imaging data. Previously, I led the clinical cardiovascular imaging research at Stanford Radiology.

My clinical experience in diagnostic radiology and research experience in the field of cardiovascular and chest imaging allow me to recognize medical shortcomings. While my technical background with a PhD (cum laude) in medical imaging allows me to solve these with adequate technical solutions.

I have leadership experience from active involvement in multiple (inter)national scientific organizations, co-directing educational courses, supervising >15 graduate students, and am co-founder of Segmed, a Y Combinator and StartX-backed company.

I have published >100 peer-reviewed papers, have been invited to present >30 lectures at international scientific meetings, am a Fulbright laureate, and received funding from the American Heart Association, Philips Healthcare, Stanford University, and more. I am designated as a Fellow of the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) and an active member of multiple European and North American clinical scientific societies. My work has amongst others been recognized with awards from the Radiological Society of North America, European Society of Radiology, Society of Thoracic Radiology, and European Society of Thoracic Imaging.
