Professional background

Steve Harris is a principal research fellow in Translational Data Science at UCL, a consultant in critical care, and the Chief Research Information Officer at the UCLH NIHR Biomedical Research Centre.

He has held fellowships from Wellcome, and the Health Foundation, and won more than £10m in grant funding.

He is co-director of the Central London NIHR Patient Safety Research Collaborative, and co-investigator for CHIMERA, the Wellcome Innovation Flagship Critical Care Asia, and co-leads the NIHR Health Informatics Collaborative for Critical Care.

At UCLH, he led the implementation of the Experimental Medicine Application Platform (EMAP) and FlowEHR that aim to bridge the 'AI chasm', and deliver algorithms and inference to the bedside.

Specialties

Research interests

Dr Harris uses observational clinical datasets to answer questions about treatment efficacy that cannot be addressed experimentally (via randomised controlled trials).

He leads a Translational Data Science lab group at at UCL's Institute of Health Informatics, and founded 'Data Science for Doctors' in 2015. He also co-leads the NIHR Critical Care Health Informatics Collaborative programme for the BRC, and UCLH's Experimental Medicine Application Platform.
