The lab is interested in exploring the ways that digital technologies are changing the practice of medicine, from the challenges of privacy and professionalism in social media to the ethical dilemmas of big data, personalized medicine, genome sequencing, and the quantified self. As a center based at Rice University with core collaborators at Baylor College of Medicine and University of Texas Health Science Center, their team includes physicians, artists, serious games designers, creative writers, bioinformaticists, filmmakers and data visualization experts. He writes and thinks at the intersection of medicine and technology on his blog, 33 charts.
