Co-Founder & CEO
Alaa Sulaiman, PhD
Alaa founded Abdora to build medical imaging AI that shows its work. If you can't explain why a model reached a conclusion, it shouldn't be used in medicine.
Background
Alaa holds a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from the National University of Malaysia, focused on medical image analysis and computational pathology. His doctoral work developed AI-driven methods for clinical imaging and pathology-based diagnosis.
His published research spans medical image segmentation, transformer architectures for clinical imaging, and AI-based cancer diagnosis — with work in Medical Image Analysis, MICCAI, and Heliyon (Cell Press).
At Abdora, he leads the technical vision and stays hands-on across the core reasoning engine, product decisions, and clinical partnerships.

Vision & Strategy
Setting direction for Abdora and making sure the team builds something that genuinely helps clinicians.
AI & Machine Learning
Hands-on with the models — especially explainable AI and reasoning for medical imaging.
Medical Imaging
Working across X-ray, CT, and MRI to build real diagnostic tools that earn clinical trust.
Healthcare Innovation
Turning rigorous AI research into products clinicians can use today.
“Radiologists deserve more than findings. They deserve the why. Abdora shows the evidence behind every detection, in plain language clinicians can trust and act on. We don't just detect. We explain.”
