Biomedical geospatial analytics and spatial epidemiology focus on geographic variations and the environmental contexts of health-related states and behaviors. Researchers investigating the etiology, treatment and management of diseases (infectious and chronic) are increasing their use of spatial data due to the growing awareness of the important role of the environment in health-related behaviors and disease exposures. The availability of increasingly robust spatial datasets, improved technological capacity in geographic information systems (GIS), and growing sophistication in spatial analytics have led to more vigorous spatial models and expanded interest in geoinformatics and health. When used optimally, GIS is a powerful information management tool for data analysis and decision-making across health care domains and interests.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Training Grants Training in Precision Environmental Health Sciences (TPEHS)  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Assistant Professor Medicine-General Baylor College of Medicine
