MEET OUR ALUMNI - Danielle Mowery, PhD My journey through the DBMI training program began as a certificate student seeking the opportunity to understand how the electronic health record could be leveraged to support clinical and translational research efforts. I was fascinated by the diverse use cases addressed and innovative informatics solutions developed by the faculty, trainees, and staff. As a pre-doctoral fellow, I discovered my passion for machine learning, artificial intelligence, and natural language processing and received first-class training and strong mentorship from the distinguished faculty. My time spent among my colleagues, faculty, and friends at Pitt DBMI were undoubtedly some of the most influential and memorable times of my life. More at https://dbmi.secure.pitt.edu/node/54244

MEET OUR ALUMNI - Arturo Lopez Pineda, PhD Being part of one of the foundational Biomedical Informatics programs in the world was an extraordinary experience in my life, which has carried over through my professional career with an extended network of peers and collaborators. During my time at Pitt DBMI, I experienced the breadth and depth of biomedical informatics ranging from public health and clinical informatics to translational bioinformatics, including an immersive experience in clinical settings, internships, and rigorous methodological training.
