Collaborate with clinicians, informaticists, and SMEs to derive relevant features from health data, such as comorbidity indices, lab value trajectories, or time-to-treatment measures.

Ensure data use complies with HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2, and other applicable regulations. Apply de-identification, data masking, or differential privacy techniques when needed.

Help define and sometimes implement workflows for data acquisition, preprocessing, and model inference pipelines, often in cloud-based environments (e.g., AWS, Azure).

Identify and mitigate potential biases in data or models, and ensure outputs are interpretable by clinical or policy stakeholders.

Monitor model performance over time and retrain or recalibrate as necessary to maintain accuracy and relevance in evolving clinical environments.
