Data Engineer

Bradley is a data scientist at DIHI where he assists in data engineering of DIHI’s Pipeline databases. In this role, he curates messy EMR data into a consumable form for all of Duke Health. He plays a critical role in assembling data for various important projects commissioned by leaders at Duke Health.

Before joining DIHI, Bradley led data science efforts at the VA’s National Oncology Program. He helped pioneer the National Precision Oncology Program which brought genetically-based personal treatments to veterans with advanced-stage cancer. He developed his programing skills while pursuing a PhD in structural biology, for which he remains passionate for. His dissertation focused on protein sidechain conformations and extremely rare base-pair conformations in DNA.

Bradley fancies himself a data pedant, caring deeply about perceptions of what data says and what it does not say. Other passions, in no particular order, include scotch, writing, running, swimming, and nuanced thinking. Bradley is the weirdo in the office who doesn’t like beer or any hot drinks, no matter the flavor. ????
