Alex F. Bokov, PhD

Personal Statement:

During Dr. Alex Bokov’s Ph.D. training in physiology, he delved further and further into statistics and bioinformatics. He went on to do post-doctoral training in the Department of Population Health Sciences at The UT Health San Antonio. Part of this time, he worked after hours to complete a second post-graduate degree, an M.S. in Applied Statistics. His cross-disciplinary training, further augmented by over a decade of practical programming and database experience, gives him the unique ability to help bridge the gap between biology, statistics, and scientific computing, helping facilitate more powerful experimental design, valid statistical analysis, and biologically relevant interpretation of results. In January 2014, he transitioned the Clinical Informatics Research Division where he built our flagship EMR data warehouse and, as Deputy Chief, helped Directors build a top-notch biomedical informatics team.
