Time: 4:00-5:00pm
Location: PSC 1136
Speaker: Kory Kreimeyer (FDA)
Title: Data Science at the FDA

Kory Kreimeyer is an ORISE Fellow at the Food and Drug Administration in Silver Spring, where he works as part of a small clinical informatics research team to develop tools to assist FDA medical reviewers. FDA receives a large number of safety reports about adverse events following exposure to vaccines and other medical products. The new tools can increase efficiency for reviewers by using natural language processing techniques to extract important clinical information from the free text of reports and by interpreting the reported information in networks, which allow for clustering and temporal analyses. Kory received his Master's degree at UMD in 2013 and previously worked as a software engineer before moving to the fellowship position.
