Directory
This Directory includes Faculty, Staff, Students, and Alumni selectable by category, search or alphabetical by last name. Over 110 students have graduated from the Department of Biomedical Informatics (25+ PhD, 50+ MS, 25+ Certificate). The diversity of careers available to DBMI alumnus is evident in their biographies. Many of our graduates are teaching and performing research in academic institutions, such as Vanderbilt University, Arizona State University, and New York University while others have entered private industry with companies such as Cerner Corporation and Boston Scientific; some have positions in government agencies, such as the NIH and AHRQ, while others are at major medical centers, serving in roles such as Chief Medical Information Officer. We maintain a database of the career paths of our graduates. If you are an alumnus, please contact us if you would like to submit or update information!

Biography
- High throughput identifier mapping
- Ethical design and execution of clinical trials
- Applications of biostatistics in cancer research
- Software architecture for comprehensive modeling and validation

Day leads the Educational Resource for Tumor Heterogeneity, and continues the evolution of the Oncology Thinking Cap computer modeling facility. These projects use stochastic models of tumor growth to help cancer researchers do thought experiments about cancer biology and treatment, with the goal of improving translational research resources.
Interpreting dose information from disease-free survival curves in adjuvant breast cancer treatment; tracking genetic evolution of breast cancers through molecular studies of individual cells in tumor cell samples and through modeling.
Statistical modeling of events and effects in biology and medicine, development of methods more effective than the usual linear modeling.
