Portrait of Lauren Lederer

I build and validate digital health systems for clinical monitoring and prediction. My work covers device validation, signal processing, ML modeling, and end-to-end clinical study design.

I’m a PhD Candidate at Duke University’s BIG IDEAs Lab, where I’m an NSF Fellow in the Traineeship for the Advancement of Surgical Technologies and a Duke Rhodes Information Initiative Fellow for Interdisciplinary Research. See Work →

I’m also a Senior Associate at Duke Capital Partners, where I source startups in health tech and AI/ML. See Venture →
