Dr. Jessica Tenenbaum is featured this week on the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) website. She discusses her choice to work in informatics as it “has been the perfect combination of my passion for biology, and making people’s health better. It also utilizes my love of computer science, programming, and thinking about data and algorithms, and getting to write code.”
Dr. Tenenbaum’s research is focused around informatics infrastructure to support translational research and precision medicine. She serves as the data science lead for the Alzheimer ’s Disease Metabolomics Consortium (ADMC) and provides domain expertise for the Data Standards Coordinating Center under the NIH’s BD2K initiative. Finally, she is interested in informatics infrastructure to enable precision medicine through genomic clinical decision support and incorporation of genomic data in the electronic health record.
