Mission Statement
The Division of Genomic Epidemiology and Clinical Outcomes accelerates the future of patient and population health by integrating cutting‑edge genomic science, clinical outcomes research, and artificial intelligence. Through cross‑disciplinary collaboration among experts in infectious diseases, epidemiology, and health systems at the University of Maryland Medical Center, the VA Maryland Healthcare System, and the Institute for Genome Sciences, we generate breakthrough insights that elevate care quality, enhance clinical decision‑making, and cultivate the next generation of researchers.
Our division is involved in research/teaching/practice:
- Examining how artificial intelligence can be used to reduce diagnostic error and improve patient outcomes
- Clinical AI regulation (FDA, legal, and anti-discrimination law)
- Leveraging large real-world datasets to answer meaningful epidemiologic questions
- Diagnostic stewardship
- Antimicrobial stewardship
- Surveillance and prevention of healthcare associated infections
- Machine learning and predictive modeling for rare diseases
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and sleep disorders in older adults
- Addressing vulnerabilities within global health security, specifically in infection prevention infrastructure and biodefense
