I'm Riyan Jain, a graduating senior at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy heading to UC Berkeley this fall to study CS. I work at the intersection of AI and biomedicine, hoping to use computational tools to address medical problems: diagnosis, treatment, and even prevention. My goal? To give everyone a fighting chance against their ailments.
I'm a graduating senior at IMSA, headed to UC Berkeley this fall to study Computer Science. I spend most of my time writing code at the intersection of AI and biomedicine — places where models touch real people and real outcomes.
Over the last few years I've shipped a production skin cancer detection tool at dermidetectai.com, spent two years on a cancer epigenetics project with Dr. Brahmachari's lab at Rice University (presented at AACR; Springer Nature paper out May 2026), and started a longitudinal voice-AI collaboration with Dr. Shouval at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center on early dementia detection. On the side, I founded Med-Equal, a health equity nonprofit.
I like hard problems with real stakes — the kind that don't reduce to leaderboard chasing. When I'm not coding, you'll find me at hackathons, in office hours, or arguing with my own GitHub commits.
I'm open to research opportunities, internships, and interesting conversations — particularly anything at the intersection of AI and biomedicine. Email is the fastest way to reach me; I usually reply within a day.
