Matthew Russell Martino joined the Department of Biomedical Informatics at VUMC in February 2023. He provides operational support of VUMC research projects and development of the VA OMOP CDM (with DBMI's Center for Improving the Public's Health through Informatics team).
Previously, he worked at the Nashville Zoo for the last decade. During his time there, he was head of the Haitian Giant Galliwasp (Celestus warreni) SSP program acting as studbook keeper, population manager, and caretaker of the 300 animals. He published the first and second edition of the studbook for this species and used the data compiled in the studbooks to maintain long-term genetic diversity amongst the population. He also successfully bred and reintroduced the Tennessee native and state endangered Streamside Salamander (Ambystoma barbouri).
He received his BS degree in Zoology at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.
Sarah Osmundson, MD, MS, is an Associate Professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology in the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC). As a clinician-investigator, she is dedicated to advancing research in the areas of pregnancy and postpartum care with a long-term vision to impact healthcare quality and efficiency. Originally from Chicago, she completed her residency at Northwestern University and fellowship at Stanford University. She augmented her clinical experience with formal research training through a Master's degree in epidemiology and clinical research and additional biostatistical coursework on predictive modeling through her Career Development Award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. In 2015, she joined the VUMC faculty where her clinical focus is caring for women with complex medical problems in pregnancy.
She maintains a diverse research portfolio funded through the National Institutes of Health (NIDA, NICHD, NINR) and in collaboration with researchers from health policy, biostatistics, bioinformatics, public health and pediatrics. Her work with the VUMC Maternal Pharmacoepidemiology group uses Tennessee Medicaid data linked to vital records to examine medication prescribing during pregnancy and postpartum. She also specializes in longitudinal studies of pregnant patients and their children, clinical application of prediction models, and decision support tools to enhance best practice guidelines. At a national level, she is involved with the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine through the Publications Committee and Board of Directors.
