| Adam Bosworth Founder & CTO, Keas |
|
Adam co-founded Keas because after 25 years of building Lego blocks for
adults, he thought it was time to spend the next 25 years doing something
that mattered. Adam believes that learning from customers is how Keas
will continuously improve the way we help people improve their health
habits. Adam has typically started and run product teams ranging from
Access, XML, and Internet Explorer's AJAX/HTML engine at Microsoft to
Google Calendar, Google Spreadsheets, Google Health at Google. Born in
London, Adam is father of two boys (one running his own software startup

David Anderson Senior Director, Innovation Lab Fellow, Ingenix David Dore, PharmD, PhD Senior Scientist, Innovus Epidemiology; Adjunct Assistant Professor of Community Health, Alpert Medical School, Brown University |
|
David Anderson is a Senior Director and Fellow in the Ingenix Innovation
Lab. David graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Bachelor of
Science degree in Aerospace Engineering. David's career trajectory began
in Aeronautical Research and Development before transitioning into
clinical informatics in 2001. Since then he has developed applications
for fraud detection, clinical trial feasibility, geographic visualization
of disease propagation, consumer provider search and others. His database
work has lead to presentations at the International Oracle Users Group
conference and Netezza's National Users Group confer\
ence. David has won three Ingenix Innovation Awards over the past 6
years and recently was a co-winner in the United Health Group's Innovation
Award program.
Currently David's passion is enabling "at scale" signal processing in very large administrative claims data sets. This work has resulted in the Natural History of Disease application which is used for exploring the clinical and financial aspects of any disease by creating and comparing matched cohort populations in our longitudinal claims data. David plans on continuing the "googlization" of the medical discovery process leveraging Netezza's iClass analytic framework. David Dore is a pharmacoepidemiologist at Innovus Epidemiology in Waltham, MA. Dr. Dore earned a PharmD from the University of Rhode Island and a PhD in epidemiology from Brown Medical School. He completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Center for Gerontology and Health Care Research at Brown University where his research activities included pharmacoepidemiology and health policy. Dr. Dore's areas of interest are the non-experimental study of drug effects and drug safety. Dr. Dore's work is focused on understanding and using health insurance claims data for etiologic research. His work has been published in several journa\ ls including the Annals of Internal Medicine. He frequently serves as a peer-reviewer, including for the Annals of Internal Medicine and Archives of Internal Medicine. Dr. Dore serves as adjunct faculty at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University where he serves on a doctoral thesis committee, teaches epidemiology to medical students, and leads a course in pharmacoepidemiology for graduate students in epidemiology and health services research. In his time at Innovus Epidemiology, Dr. Dore has led several post-approval safety studies of drugs and vaccines. Nearly all of his work has been based in commercial health insurance claims data and supplemented with information from abstracted medical records. Two common themes in this work have been the use of advanced techniques to mitigate confounding and misclassification bias. Most of Dr. Dore's research has been in collaboration with industry clients, and in the case of 2 projects, he was tasked with coordination of other research groups, requiring the development of study designs that allowed pooling of aggregate-lev\ el data across sites to preserve patient confidentiality. |

Jim Yan, PhD Director, Research and Bioinformatics, Laboratory Corporation of America |
|
Jim Yan is currently Director of Research and Bioinformatics in Labcorp?s
Companion
Diagnostics Division, where he is focused on biomarker development and
validation. He has
12 year industrial experience, mostly in bioinformatics and
genomics. Prior to Labcorp, he
was Vice President of R&D and Bioinformatics at CancerGuide Diagnostics,
Inc, leading its
effort in evaluation and co-development of biomarkers for pathway targeted
cancer therapy.
As a group leader in Almac Diagnostics, a British company, Jim built and
led the US team of
Senior bioinformaticians and biostatisticians and accomplished many
genomics and biomarker
projects and software initiatives. He started his industrial career in
DuPont in 1999 and led a
group in providing bioinformatics support for genomics projects. During
his seven-year tenure
at DuPont, he had extensive exposure to evolution of different types of
genomics technology and
large projects, and experience in research informatics, data analysis and
integration, predictive
modeling and data mining for a large R&D organization.
Jim received a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from The University of Texas at Austin in 1995, did his postdoctoral training in computational biology and pharmacology at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and received NIH Individual Research Service Award. Jim also holds an MBA from University of Iowa Tippie School of Management as well as a MS in Biophysics from Chinese Academy of Sciences. |
