Casey Overby Lab
- Research in the Casey Overby Lab focuses on the intersection of public health genomics and biomedical informatics. We're currently developing applications to support the translation of genomic research to clinical and population-based health care settings. We're also working to develop knowledge-based ways to use big data -- including electronic health records -- to improve population health.
Research Summary
Dr. Taylor's research draws from biomedical informatics and the related field of biomedical data science, to address the challenge of how to incorporate technology and digital approaches into clinical research and healthcare practices. She also draws from comparative effectiveness research approaches, including experience with conceptualizing and measuring implementation outcomes, to study the use of clinical decision support as a strategy to improve the adoption of clinically actionable guidance. Prior to Dr. Taylor’s move to Hopkins, she was Assistant Professor in University of Maryland’s Program for Personalized and Genomic Medicine.
