Data Science Institute

Adeel Abbasi, MD, ScM, is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine at Brown University, and the Associate Medical Director of the Adult Extracorporeal Life Support Program at Rhode Island Hospital. His research in the Health Natural Language Processing Laboratory (previously the Biomedical Artificial Intelligence Laboratory) at Brown University aims to improve patient outcomes by leveraging bioinformatics techniques including machine learning to address crucial knowledge gaps in critical care. His current research focus is the study and prevention of complications in patients treated with mechanical circulatory support including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Dr. Abbasi is a Parker B. Francis Fellow (2022-2025), and he is also supported by the CardioPulmonary Vascular Biology Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (CPVB COBRE) at the Ocean State Research Institute, and the Advance Clinical and Translational Research (Advance-CTR) Program.

How does your research, teaching, or other work relate to data or computational science?

My research focus is leveraging big data to study outcomes in critically ill patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
