John Robert Hotchkiss, MD

  • Associate Professor of Critical Care Medicine and Medicine
Academic Interests

The underlying theme of Dr. Hotchkiss's work is the application of contemporary computational and bioengineering techniques to complex biological and clinical systems. Dr. Hotchkiss' goal is to produce computational tools that can be used to improve patient care, either directly or by guiding the application of extant or novel technologies in the clinical setting. Foci of interest have expanded from individual patients to include healthcare facilities and networks, focusing on access and economic issues.
