A new artificial intelligence hub at the University of Florida College of Pharmacy will centralize the college’s diverse AI efforts, positioning UF as a national leader in pharmacy AI through research, clinical collaboration and services.
This initiative is spearheaded by Khoa Nguyen, Pharm.D., a clinical associate professor of pharmacotherapy and translational research, and Md. Mahmudul Hasan, Ph.D., an assistant professor of pharmaceutical outcomes and policy with a joint appointment in the Information Systems and Operations Management Department of the UF Warrington College of Business. In their careers that bridge research, clinical applications and teaching, Nguyen and Hasan often collaborate with colleagues on AI-powered initiatives; yet the pair said the college lacked a centralized resource to keep track of its varied, far-reaching AI efforts.
“The core purpose of the hub is to serve as a home for our college’s AI efforts — a place where we can showcase our faculty’s achievements and establish the college as a premier leader in pharmacy AI,” Nguyen said. “Beyond visibility, the hub is meant to be a living resource, somewhere faculty can find potential partners, exchange research ideas and explore ways to advance AI in both clinical practice and education. Ultimately, I want it to be the connective tissue that turns individual efforts into a collective, collaborative force.”
Hasan said this goal will be achieved by providing AI researchers with the scientific data and industry expertise they need to transform their ideas into tangible tools.
