Doug MacFadden is the chief informatics officer for Harvard Catalyst | The Harvard Clinical and Translational Science Center. He leads a team of talented engineers to develop and implement informatics applications, networks, and platforms that perform at large scale. Areas of focus include discovery of research resources (eagle-i), sharing of data (SHRINE), and acceleration of multisite clinical trial collaboration (SMART IRB). SHRINE, an open-source platform, is used in several different networks worldwide to power the NIH ENACT network with data from over 130 million people across more than 45 clinical and translational center (CTSA) sites across the country. MacFadden also leads multiple efforts to implement and operate large scale platforms for research data collection, analysis, and sharing. These platforms include the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) environment for the NIH’s RECOVER initiative (nationwide research into long COVID) and the Football Players Health Study secure repository.
