About
Dr. Elizabeth Shenkman is a leading figure in clinical research informatics, whose work has fundamentally advanced the secure and ethical use of large-scale health data. Her primary research focuses on developing privacy-preserving frameworks for multi-institutional clinical research networks, enabling collaborative science without compromising patient confidentiality. Dr. Shenkman’s most cited work, "Towards a privacy preserving cohort discovery framework for clinical research networks" (2016, 23 citations), provides a foundational architecture for researchers to identify and assemble study cohorts across disparate healthcare systems while maintaining robust data governance. This contribution is critical for accelerating translational research and population health studies. Beyond this landmark paper, her leadership in building large-scale data networks, such as the OneFlorida Clinical Research Consortium, has empowered thousands of investigators to conduct pragmatic clinical trials and observational studies. Dr. Shenkman’s impact is measured not only in citations but also in the operationalized systems she has designed, which have been adopted by national initiatives like PCORnet. Her work stands as a model for balancing data utility with patient privacy, making her an indispensable architect of modern, collaborative clinical research infrastructure.
