Assistant Professor Robert Parker joined the faculty in January 2000 after completing his Ph.D. at the University of Delaware.
Systems Medicine, the translational science counterpart to systems biology, is the field at the interface between engineering systems analysis and clinical medicine. The Parker lab focuses on the development and translation of systems engineering tools, including mathematical modeling, dynamical analysis, control theory, and optimization, to address clinically-relevant problems in the areas of inflammation, cancer, and diabetes/glucose control. These advanced computational techniques help clinicians visualize, assimilate, analyze, and formulate decisions using the complex interplay of the measurements and data available to them. Close collaboration and communication with clinical scientists at the University of Pittsburgh provide the rapid feedback that facilitates the translation of engineering tools to the clinic.
