Lois Lexer is a senior at Columbia University studying Medical Humanities, where she explores the intersection of medicine, storytelling, and human identity. A Korean-American raised in Seoul, London, and Delaware, she brings a global perspective to understanding diverse backgrounds and cultures. 

‍

She is the founder of I See You Now (ISYN), a human storytelling archive positioned as the antithesis of AI. Drawing from her background in narrative medicine and filmmaking, Lois is building a platform that protects what makes us human: the truths, feelings, and stories no machine can replicate. 

‍

At Columbia, Lois is an Associate Fellow in the Precision Medicine and Society Graduate Program and a research assistant to Professor Maya Sabatello. Outside the classroom, Lois is a screenwriter and actor creating original feature films, and an amateur boxer and certified boxing instructor who coaches kids with autism. She plans to attend medical school to advance human-centered healthcare. Her clinical interests lie in pulmonology and cardiothoracic surgery. Her path forward bridges medicine, entrepreneurship, and culture — grounded in one mission: to put humans first.

My grandpa buying me an entire five-person sushi platter right after I got my tonsils removed. (I ate it all.)
