In 2009, Isaac Kohane and colleagues were able to display the potential of mining existing medical records, showing that they could diagnose a patient suffering domestic abuse a full two years before the system would detect it, simply by using discharge data from emergency room patients across Massachusetts. Kohane is chair of Harvard Medical School’s new Department of Biomedical Informatics.

Harvard researchers in the Children's Hospital Boston Informatics Program (CHIP) have created a model for predicting a drug’s tendency to cause birth defects. CHIP Director Isaac Kohane (pictured) and Asher Schachter, assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, applied the model to drugs across all risk classes, the proportion of developmental genes targeted roughly matched the degree of known risk.

The above schematic represents the relationship between intra-building collaboration and citations. The height of each building reflects the average number of publication citations originating there, and the color reflects the degree to which authors on those publications cohabitated (from gray=low to blue=high). The graphic depicts that, in general, buildings with more intra-building collaborations produced studies with higher citation rates.
