Team


We are a diverse multidisciplinary group comprised of members with diverse expertise, backgrounds and skills ranging from biology, genetics, medicine, health informatics, clinical bioinformatics, genetic epidemiology, public health, epidemiology, computational biology, to data science, computer science, engineering, Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, big data, statistics and mathematics.



Professor Georgios Gkoutos PhD DIC FRSB FRSM

The group, located at the Institute of Translational Medicine, is led by Professor Georgios Gkoutos, who heads the ITM AI for Health Centre.

Prof Gkoutos holds the Chair of Clinical Bioinformatics, a joint appointment between the University of Birmingham Medical School and the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. He is a Faculty Affiliate Professor of Digital Health at Berkeley Lab, Director of the Centre for Health Data Science, Associate Director of Health Data Research UK, Director of the ITM AI for Health Centre, Co-Director of the Joint Research Institute for Health and BioMedical Informatics, Alan Turing Fellow and Fellow of the Robinson College University of Cambridge.

His main interests lie within the areas of clinical and biomedical informatics, health data science, multimodal multiomics integrative analytics, genetic epidemiology, public health, computational biology, artificial intelligence for health, and translational research aiming at the discovery of molecular origins of human disease and the development of novel disease diagnostic and intervention strategies.
