Co-Lead, Research Project 3, MISM
Assist. Professor in Surgery, Duke University
Bruce Rogers, PhD, Project Co-Lead, is an Assistant Professor in Surgery in the Duke University School of Medicine and the lead Data Scientist for the Laboratory for Transformative Administration. He received his Ph.D. from Arizona State University in 2009.
Dr. Rogers’ research combines dynamical systems modeling of the immune system and disease with the assimilation of large and diverse data sources using techniques from mathematics, statistics, and computer science. His work synthesizes complex systems, stochastic dynamical systems, machine learning, and generative AI to explain individual responses to disease by integrating genetic, imaging, and immune assay data. As the MISM Research Project 3 Co-Lead, Dr. Rogers will coordinate the research effort, develop within-host differential equation models, and incorporate these models into traditional epidemic models.
