TCS and VUMC will drive specific research in areas including; genomics, metagenomics, systems biology, bio-informatics, improved care management, and advanced healthcare analytics. This important collaboration will also lay the foundation for TCS’ COIN emerging technology network to connect with Vanderbilt University’s Center for Technology Transfer and Commercialization (CTTC) start-up community.
“At TCS, we are investing in new and emerging digital technologies to develop innovative solutions that our clients need to re-imagine their businesses. TCS and VUMC share a passion and curiosity that will enable us to collectively solve complex healthcare challenges and problems. The unique combination of TCS expertise and solutions, coupled with VUMC academia and private research, will create an environment that accelerates innovation in a critical industry like healthcare,” said Suresh Muthuswami, president, head of insurance and healthcare, TCS.
Dr Kevin Johnson, Cornelius Vanderbilt Professor and chair of biomedical informatics, professor of pediatrics, chief informatics officer, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, commented, “Research is one of VUMC’s core missions.
