ABSTRACT
Dr. Meeker joined USC faculty in August as an Assistant Professor of Preventive
Medicine and Director of Informatics for the Clinical Translational Sciences Institute.
She will present work that is the product of collaborations with USC investigators in the
Schaeffer Center and the Information Sciences Institute. In this presentation she will describe a system for research workflow management that guides investigators participating in multi-site studies through the phases of research. She will show results of a USC-led study that leveraged parts of the system, and how updates in progress were informed by these results and other developments in the research community.
These updates include platform-independent design and leveraging frameworks for massively parallel computation for privacy-preserving analyses. She will end the presentation with a brief discussion of the two planned USC clinical informatics systems, and elicit suggestions from the audience for applications and possible projects that might leverage these new assets in innovative ways.
