-The [[https://www.act-network.org/|Accrual of patients to Clinical Trials (ACT) network]] is a nationwide network of sites that share EHR data to significantly increase participant accrual to the nation’s highest priority clinical trials. It is funded by NCATS' Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) program that supports efforts to solve system-wide translational research problems to improve the success of U.S. clinical trials. The ACT network is built on existing platforms (i2b2/SHRINE) to create a federated network with common standards, data terminology and shared resources. The ACT investigators are focused on 1) data harmonization across EHR platforms, 2) technical needs assessment and implementation, 3) regulatory approaches to ensure compliance with protocols for data access and participant contact, and 4) governance development to establish proper agreements among institutions. More information is available at [[https://ncats.nih.gov/pubs/features/ctsa-act|NCATS]].

+The [[https://www.genomicinformationcommons.org/|Genomic Information Commons (GIC)]] is a federated network that is developing two portals for researchers: (A) Prep-to- research portal. Investigators can execute genotype, phenotype, or combined genotype/phenotype queries, and receive aggregate results in real time; and (B) Study portal. With proper approvals, patient-level data are readily transferred to a cloud-hosted environment.

TCGA is a “comprehensive and coordinated effort to accelerate the understanding of the molecular basis of cancer through the application of genome analysis technologies, including large-scale genome sequencing”, and is funded by the National Cancer Institute. PGRR processes data and metadata available from TCGA to provide a Pitt-specific ‘snapshot’ of the data and tools for use of this data in a secured environment.

-Electronic medical records (EMRs) are capturing increasing amounts of patient data that can be leveraged by machine-learning methods for computerized decision support. My work focuses on the development of intelligent EMRs that contain adaptive and learning components to provide decision support using the right data, at the right time. In addition, I work with a team of collaborators in developing and implementing machine-learning methods for detecting adverse drug events and for identifying anomalies in clinical management of patients.

-==== Personalized modeling for precision medicine ====
-In predictive modeling in medicine, the typical paradigm consists of learning a single model from a database of individuals, which is then applied to predict outcomes for any future individual. Such a model is called a population-wide model because it is intended to be applied to an entire population of future individuals. In contrast, personalized modeling focuses on learning models that are tailored to the characteristics of the individual at hand. Personalized models that are optimized to perform well for a specific individual are likely to have better predictive performance than the typical population-wide models that are optimized to have good predictive performance on average on all future individuals. Moreover, personalized models can identify features such as genomic factors that are specific for an individual thus enabling precision medicine.
