Dr. Gregory F. Cooper, M.D., Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Biomedical Informatics (primary appointment), of Intelligent Systems (secondary), and of Computational Biology (secondary) at the University of Pittsburgh. He is Vice Chair of the Department of Biomedical Informatics. He obtained a B.S. in Computer Science from MIT in 1977, a Ph.D. in Medical Information Sciences from Stanford in 1985, and an M.D. from Stanford in 1986. Dr. Cooper’s primary research interests involve the application of decision theory, probability theory, Bayesian statistics, and artificial intelligence to biomedical informatics research problems. He has been investigating one or more of these research topics for the past 25 years and has over 110 peer-reviewed publications related to these topics. He has been the primary advisor to 14 doctoral students. Dr. Cooper is a PI or Co-PI of ongoing projects that are being funded by NIH, NSF, and CDC. These projects are developing, implementing, and evaluating new computational methods for (1) patient outcome prediction from clinical and genome-wide data, (2) detection of anomalous patterns of ICU care using machine-learning methods, and (3) biosurveillance.
