Professional Background

As a health policy researcher, I work with Cancer and Alzheimer’s patients and their caregivers to enhance the resource navigation core to ease their financial and other barriers to obtaining care and improve their health outcomes. Additionally, we anticipate utilizing the Artificial Intelligence mechanism to pair the patients with the appropriate resources they seek seamlessly. Utilizing data trends, our team designs and develops interventions to improve patient outcomes across our outreach area. Based on the longitudinal data analysis, I sometimes translate the predictive model into applications and algorithms that are utilized broadly across our network.

I oversee and provide expertise in designing and implementing research databases and data warehouses. Additionally, as an informatics expert, I have designed and developed innovative informatics tools that could efficiently and effectively help conduct clinical trial execution. Cancer Curated Clinical Outcomes Database (C3OD) is an example of a data warehouse. C3OD is an intuitive user interface utilized by our physicians and research staff to perform feasibility analysis and trial recruitment. I have 12+ years of experience with database development and maintenance to execute multi-center clinical trials through various phases – study start-up, participant identification, recruitment, data collection, curation, quality analysis, data dissemination, and manuscript publication. Our team has undergone a rigorous validation process to get our Clinical Research Information System (CRIS) 21 CFR Part 11 compliant (prescribed by the FDA).
