Background

Clair is a Director in the Epidemiology Analytics group within Epidemiology at Janssen Research & Development, a Johnson & Johnson company. She began her career at a regional health system in my home state of Virginia focused on health outcomes research, specifically in patients with sepsis. She then joined Janssen in 2015 where her main area of focus has been observational data management. This includes managing multiple ETL conversions to the OMOP Common Data Model as well as serving as project manager for the OHDSI Common Data Model working group. She received her MPH from Eastern Virginia Medical School, and is currently pursuing a PhD in Medical Informatics at Erasmus MC. Her thesis is centered on determining the "fitness for use" of observational health databases, specifically in relation to data standards and data quality.
