DEPT MARKETING STATEMENT:

UTMB’s new Center for Health and Clinical Outcomes Research (H-COR) seeks Research Scientists to advance decision-grade evidence from real-world data to study and understand human health. H-COR leverages Epic EHR (Clarity/Caboodle and Cosmos), TriNetX, Medicare and other administrative data. H-COR has an interest in pairing outcomes research with secure, principled integration of high-dimensional modalities (e. g. , transcriptomics, proteomics, pathogen genomics). Also of interest is the utilization of novel data sources including those derived from social media, mobile phones, wearables, and other digital sources. Researchers at H-COR collaborate across all five UTMB schools
