Interests:
Multimodal longitudinal modeling for mechanistic understanding and clinical decision support.
Background:
Jennifer Hadlock, MD, is an Associate Professor and Director of Medical Data Science at the Institute for Systems Biology (ISB). She earned her MD at the University of Washington School of Medicine, including training in the Rural/Urban Underserved Pathway. Before that she was a Principal Software Engineer in research and development at Microsoft, analyzing and optimizing end-user quality for natural language processing, geographic information systems and real-time digital imaging—technologies used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
Research:
Dr. Hadlock’s research accelerates translational research through risk modeling on longitudinal multimodal observations, including clinical data, exposures, genomics, and deep phenotyping. Her interdisciplinary lab is accelerating translational research for preventing disease onset and sequelae, with specific focus on applications for autoimmune conditions and maternal-fetal health. Work includes new approaches for integrating domain-agnostic methods with biomedical knowledge (databases, ontologies, large language models and human-in-the-loop).
