Griffen

Hi! My name is Zach Griffen and I am a Visiting Assistant Professor of Business at the NYU Gallatin School of Individualized Study. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Population Health at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, where I remain a Faculty Affiliate at the Section of Medical Ethics. I received my PhD in Sociology from UCLA, where I also taught courses at the Institute for Society and Genetics and served as an Editorial Assistant for the journal Social Science & Medicine. I study the effects of quantification on social policy. My current work is primarily about the regulation and governance of AI models in healthcare, though I also conduct research on the economic measurement of social programs and the computation of genetic risk scores. Finally, I am writing a book, How Management Made Medicine: The Evolution of 'Quality Improvement' from Industrial Production to Medical AI.
