Researchers
Dr. Salter, with a joint appointment at the Peter O'Donnell Jr. Brain Institute, specializes in designing, analyzing, and interpreting clinical trials and epidemiologic studies. Her expertise lies in large complex database design and analysis, with a focus on the implications of their practical use. For over 15 years, she has dedicated her research to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and serves as the Director of the Data Coordinating Center for the North American Research Committee on Multiple Sclerosis (NARCOMS) Registry, a longitudinal registry for individuals with MS. In her role, Dr. Salter is responsible for data collection, management, and analyses.
As the Deputy Chief Medical Informatics Officer for Neurosciences, Dr. Rousseau leverages his expertise in neurology and biomedical informatics to support the many ways data can transform health. His research focuses on health information technology and electronic health record data to improve clinical decision-making, enhance patient care, power clinical neuroscience research, and contribute to the broader field of biomedical informatics. Dr. Rousseau seeks to advance neurological health research and care through the secondary use of electronic health record data along with patient-generated data by developing and applying biomedical informatics methods in natural language processing, standard ontologies and terminologies, computable phenotyping, and data warehousing.
