Jessica Dale Tenenbaum
Assistant Professor of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics

Dr. Tenenbaum is a faculty member in the Division of Translational Biomedical Informatics in the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics. Her primary research interests are 1. Informatics to enable precision medicine; 2. Mental health informatics; 3. Infrastructure and standards to enable research collaboration and integrative data analysis; and 4. Ethical, legal, and social issues that arise in translational research, direct to consumer genetic testing, and data sharing. Current research projects focus on analyzing electronic health record data to better understand mental illness, target resource allocation, guide treatment, and develop targeted therapeutic interventions.

Nationally, Dr. Tenenbaum plays a leadership role in the American Medical Informatics Association, serving as Chair of the Mental Health Informatics Working Group and as an elected member of the Board of Directors. She is an Associate Editor for the Journal of Biomedical Informatics and served on the advisory panel for Nature Publishing Group's Scientific Data initiative. After earning her bachelor’s degree in biology from Harvard, Dr. Tenenbaum worked as a program manager at Microsoft Corporation in Redmond, WA for six years before pursuing a PhD in biomedical informatics at Stanford University.
