Episodes of bradycardia and oxygen desaturation (BD) are common among preterm very low birthweight (VLBW) infants and their association with adverse outcomes such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is unclear. A better understanding of this relationship could lead to improved clinical interventions.

Working with researchers in the Zang Lab in the Center for Public Health Genomics (CPHG), RC helped launch BARTweb, an interactive web-based tool for users to analyze their Genelist or ChIP-seq datasets. BARTweb is a containerized Flask front-end (written in Python) that ingests files and submits them to a more robust Python-based genomics pipeline running on Rivanna, UVA’s high performance computing cluster (HPC).

The Planetary Child Health and Enterics Observatory (Plan-EO) is an interdisciplinary research initiative at UVA. Its mission is to provide researchers and public health stakeholders with diverse spatial data tools for the geographical targeting of enteropathogen-specific child health interventions. 

Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that can lead to irreversible vision loss if not properly managed. Effectively stratifying patient risk is a major clinical challenge, as clinicians need tools to identify patients at high risk of progression from sparse and irregularly-sampled electronic health records.
