Bio: Dr. Richard D. Boyce, PhD is an Associate Professor of Biomedical Informatics (School of Medicine) with secondary appointments in the School of Pharmacy and the Intelligent Systems Program (School of Computing and Information) at the University of Pittsburgh. He is a biomedical informatics researcher who has been the PI of K and R-level NIH grants including a National Library of Medicine R01 and an R25. His publication record includes over 80 peer-reviewed journal articles and 20 peer-reviewed conference papers at the intersection of artificial knowledge representation, pharmacovigilance, clinical research informatics, and clinical decision support (CDS). The use of informatics to support safe and effective medication therapy for older adults has been a primary interest of Dr. Boyce since the early stages of his research career. He was an AHRQ Comparative Research Scholar from 2010 – 2013, PI on 2 NIH funded research projects focused on improving medication safety (an R01 (R01 LM011838) and a K01 (K01 AG044433)), and co-investigator on multiple other NIH-funded projects. For nine years, he led the Informatics Core for a U54 grant (U54 AT008909) studying natural product – drug interactions from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. He is currently MPI and co-director of a National Library of Medicine R25 research experience for undergraduates called AIBIDS (R25 LM014208).
