Personal Statement
I, J. Mark Conde, a proposed Co-investigator, is presently the Director of the Office of Information Services
in the Rollins School of Public Health of Emory University. I have worked in public health informatics both in a
government (including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and academic environment for
approximately the past twelve years. In the past, I have worked with laboratory informatics systems in a
variety of clinical, environmental, and chemical labs integrating lab data with external information for analytics.
With over 32 years applying technology in various industries and science domains I explore unique ideas
around informatics that expand analytics using data in public health programs.
