The ENACT Grand Rounds, a monthly seminar series hosted by the ENACT Network, fosters learning on real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) generation, promoting an Open Science and Data Sharing culture.

The series accelerates scientific discovery and improves translational research efficiency, quality, and impact by exploring Electronic Health Records (EHR) in solving problems like secondary data analysis, surveillance, learning healthcare systems, and policy. Attendees will learn from case examples using ENACT synthetic datasets, distributed analytics, and cohort discovery, showcasing experts from the CTSA Consortium and beyond.

Dr. Griffin M. Weber, an Associate Professor of Medicine and Biomedical Informatics at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and Harvard Medical School (HMS), leads the Biomedical Research Informatics Core at BIDMC and the Informatics Faculty Lead for Harvard’s Clinical and Translational Science Award Program. He was the former Chief Technology Officer of HMS. His research focuses on developing computational methods and software for analyzing biomedical data, particularly in EHR data, medical claims data, federated clinical data networks, and scientific literature. He helped develop the open-source i2b2 platform for clinical data query and analysis and the SHRINE software for connecting i2b2 systems across institutions in the ENACT network. Dr. Weber received his M.D. and Ph.D. in computer science from Harvard University in 2007 and was elected a Fellow of the American College of Medical Informatics (FACMI) in 2020 for his contributions to medical informatics.
