Dr. Blum's Lab
Dr. Blum's medical informatic's lab focuses on the ability to capture the electronic medical record, digitize electrophysiologic records at very high fidelity, and conduct large-scale or multi-site clinical trials leads to the generation of very large datasets.
Manual analysis of these datasets is cumbersome and impractical.
Dr. Blum's team uses highly automated algorithms to reduce data, determine correlations, and even deduce causality in numerical models of the datasets.
