Congratulations to Dr. Shannon McWeeney on earning the Walter and Clora Brownfield Endowed Professorship in Cancer Research! As Chief Data Officer, Dr. McWeeney develops rigorous computational methods that support precision decision-making at the point of care for cancer patients.

Data governance: “Can we trust the record?” #AI governance: “Can we trust the decision built on that record?” Without clear provenance of where data came from, how it was processed, & who it represents, we can’t judge bias or safety in AI. In healthcare, that should be a hard stop. bit.ly/4cLAbPH

So sad to learn out the passing of Peer Bork. I collaborated with his group at EMBL in the mid 2000’s. He leaves a lasting imprint on the fields of bioinformatics, metagenomics, and computational biology, and an enduring spirit of open, curiosity-driven exploration.
