Rebecca Wilson
SSI fellow
University of Liverpool
I am a tenure track fellow at the University of Liverpool and PI of the DataSHIELD research project - an open source software for the federated analysis of health data with automated disclosure control. My fellowship focuses the continued development of open source tools and processes for the access, sharing and analysis of sensitive health datasets.
In 2013 I discipline-hopped after a 5-year career in planetary science to informatics in biomedical and social sciences developing web-tools and open source software for the analysis of longitudinal biobank/birth cohort data. Fast forward ten years and I am now a tenure track fellow at the University of Liverpool and PI of DataSHIELD - an open source software for the federated analysis of health data with automated disclosure control. My research focuses on the continued development of open source tools and governance processes for the access, sharing and analysis of sensitve health datasets.
Since engaging in the SSI community the DataSHIELD project has transitioned into an open source community with a globally distributed team of researchers, SMEs and industry continuing to develop and expand the DataSHIELD analytic platform, privacy preserving methodologies and analytic capabilities.
