Research Interests:
Data systems for epidemiologic research and regulatory purposes to enhance the public health protection of the public.
Proposed Research Project for FDA Fellow:
This project would be for a medical informatics fellow to work on integrative scientific computing issues for FDA data systems. There are many aspects of FDA system integration and scientific computing efforts, which are all open to the fellow for project development. A key FDA integrative data concept is called JANUS, which is intended to house all structured data (according to data standards, eg, Health Level Seven) received by FDA. This would include clinical and non-clinical study data, adverse event reports, facility registrations, and product listings, among others. The concept of the JANUS system is to manage structured data at multiple levels – Exchange (receive HL7 messages), Persistence (load, validate and store data), Database (user-friendly databases), Data Mart and Special Purposes (data organized for analytic use), analysis (tools for analysis), and results (outputs of analyses). The fellow would work with FDA business and IT professionals in integration efforts on projects such as developing, testing, and implementing the JANUS model, defining its benefits and risks, and exploring and evaluating its utilization for various specific purposes.
