Rural Heart Failure Patients and Perceived Health
Managing heart failure can be challenging for rural individuals due to many logistical barriers. Using electronic health records and survey data, this study seeks to understand factors that influence health outcomes in those with heart failure in rural areas by building machine learning models to predict self-reported perception of health.

Antibiotic-Resistant Infections
Antibiotic-resistant infections pose a serious global health threat. In this project, we leverage the rich dataset from All of Us Research Program to learn significant genetic, clinical, and socio-environmental risk factors in developing antibiotic-resistant infections. This project is part of the All of Us Biomedical Researchers Scholars Program by Baylor College of Medicine, Cohort 4. (Team Resistance: Natasha Mavengere, Easton Ford, Yesol Sapozhnikov, Jordan Langston, Stella Adeyemo, Greater Oyejobi)
Student Projects
I mentor students conducting research projects using All of Us data. The All of Us Research Program, funded by NIH, is a historic effort to gather health data from over one million people across the United States to advance precision medicine. Registered researchers can access the large, diverse data from electronic health records, survey responses, wearables, and genome sequencing.
