Improving Health for all Bit by Bit

My research focuses on using big data to solve real-world problems across population groups and predicting disease risk for patients with Alzheimer's disease. I work alongside the NIH Center for Alzheimer's and Related Dementias (CARD) to build the data infrastructure behind Alzheimer's research at scale. I’m fusing mass-scale EHR data with multiomics to identify risk factors, working toward a future where precision medicine draws on the full picture of a patient's biology and history, not just the slice of data that happens to be easiest to collect.
