We celebrate our extensive partnerships with the UF Health Cancer Institute. Several of the Institute's top stories feature our researchers and staff members.

As the months accumulated, so did the accolades and accomplishments of our department. Take a stroll down HOBI’s memory lane as we revisit some of the moments, photos, and stories that got our attention this year.

“Our research team brought together diverse data sources on red tide and human health, allowing us to show, perhaps for the first time, that there appears to be a causal connection between these phenomena,” said Yi Guo, Ph.D.

Please join me in congratulating Yi Guo, PhD, FAMIA, on being appointed as Division Chief for Biomedical Informatics and Data Science.

“Excessive screening opens the door for a lot of negative consequences,” said Jennifer LeLaurin, Ph.D., an assistant professor of health outcomes and biomedical informatics at the University of Florida and lead author of the new study.

The year that was 2024 brings inspiration and excitement about what could happen at HOBI in the coming year of 2025.

Sonya White’s dedication to providing exceptional support means both internal and external stakeholders have access to the resources and knowledge necessary to fulfill their roles and advance research.

“They’ve selected someone who challenges traditional views of aging and brings a fresh perspective to what it means to be an older adult,” said Christopher Kaufmann, an assistant professor in the UF College of Medicine’s Department of Health Outcomes and Biomedical Informatics.

A new artificial intelligence computer program created by researchers at the University of Florida and NVIDIA can generate doctors’ notes so well that two physicians couldn’t tell the difference, according to an early study from both groups.

A new gathering co-sponsored by the University of Florida brought together 100 experts in medicine from across the U.S. to share ideas about the potential of artificial intelligence to supercharge health care. The event’s title was “Transforming Patient-Centered Health Care Delivery through an AI-enabled Learning Health System.”
