Current Role
Current Role
I am a Biomedical Informatics Program Director in CBIIT and serve as the NCI federal program lead for the NCI-Department of Energy (DOE) Collaboration, which applies artificial intelligence (AI) approaches and advanced computing to specific areas of cancer research. The NCI-DOE Collaboration encompasses three distinct predictive oncology projects, ADMIRRAL, MOSSAIC and IMPROVE, as well as the Accelerating Therapeutics for Opportunities in Medicine (ATOM) Consortium. I also lead and support computational modeling projects and activities across NCI and NIH, including the CBIIT AI and High Performance Computing Working Group, the trans-NCI AI Working Group, and the NIH Bridge2AI Program.
