Somalee Datta, PhD
Director of Research IT, SoM - IRT Research Technology
Current Role at StanfordI am currently the Director of Research IT at School of Medicine (SoM) Information Resources and Technology (IRT). This is a newly created division in support of Stanford's Precision Health Strategy. Research IT exists to supply infrastructure, tools, and services used by researchers, patients/participants, and clinicians to collect and combine data to make discoveries and to improve human health and wellness. A major effort of our group will be the creation of a large-scale Data Commons that strives to aggregate, link and provide access to a wide variety of data sets - clinical, imaging, omics, wearable, population health - to propel Big Data driven biomedical research and translation. This will be done in close collaboration with many groups throughout Stanford.
I joined Stanford in Oct 2012 as the Director of Bioinformatics at Stanford Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine (SCGPM). My responsibility at the Center was to develop and lead the bioinformatics team and establish a genomics data analysis facility. Currently, SCGPM bioinformatics team is comprised of a dozen scientists and software engineers. The team has a wide range of skill sets including various omics, computational biology, machine learning, software engineering, data management, Databases, Visualization, High Performance Computing, IT, and Cloud DevOps. The team is currently supporting several large scale research and clinical programs at Stanford including prestigious consortium efforts and inter-disciplinary collaborations.
Among our various efforts at SCGPM is Genetics Bioinformatics Service Center, a Big Data Biomedical and Bioinformatics Core Facility, created in 2013 to streamline the availability of infrastructure to the wider biomedical community at Stanford and our research affiliates. The Core facility provides best-in-class high performance computational systems, scalable Cloud computing and cutting edge bioinformatics services for the Stanford community.
