Susmitha Wunnava is a postdoctoral research fellow working with Dr. Tim Miller and Dr. Florence Bourgeois at Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH) and Harvard Medical School (HMS). She is a machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) scientist. Her research interest is at the intersection of AI and healthcare, conducting projects in regulatory science, which comprises a range of scientific disciplines that are applied to the quality, safety and efficacy assessment of medicinal products and that inform regulatory decision-making throughout the lifecycle of a medicine. Her current work is focused on: 1) Developing analytical tools to predict medical device safety and efficacy in pre- and post-market databases. This research would allow regulatory agencies like the FDA to proactively identify trends and safety signals, assess device performance, and analyze data-related workflows to improve the regulation of new and existing devices. 2) Assessing High-risk Cardiovascular Devices for Use in Children and Adolescents.
