Biography

Robert A. Greenes has an M.D. degree and Ph.D. in applied mathematics/computer science, both from Harvard, and is Board Certified in Diagnostic Radiology. Radiology Residency was at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School, and Radiologist, Brigham and Women's Hospital. He is also Professor of Health Policy and Management, Harvard School of Public Health. He is Professor in the Health Science and Technology Division (HST), a joint division of Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, through which he is Program Director of the Harvard-MIT-NEMSC Research Training Program in Medical Informatics, with support by the National Library of Medicine.

In 1978 Dr. Greenes established the Decision Systems Group (DSG) a Harvard-based medical informatics research and development laboratory at Brigham and Women's Hospital which he directs, to pursue methodologies for health care education and decision support.

He is a Fellow of the American College of Medical Informatics as well as its past President, a Fellow of the American College of Radiology, a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, and serves on a number of editorial boards.
