Summary
Martijn Schuemie is a multidisciplinary researcher and software developer with over a decade of experience applying informatics to healthcare, spanning VR-based PhD work on phobia treatment to leading large-scale pharmacoepidemiology methods. He has driven open, reproducible observational research as a long-time OMOP/OHDSI leader—creating tools like White Rabbit, Rabbit in a Hat, Usagi, CohortMethod and SelfControlledCaseSeries—and co-leading core OHDSI workgroups including HADES and Population-Level Estimation. At Janssen and in academia he developed novel statistical methods for drug safety signal detection, built distributed analysis architectures (Jerboa), and ran empirical evaluations across international databases. A former FDA fellow and visiting scholar at Columbia and UCLA, he blends hands-on software engineering with methodological rigor and a knack for turning complex literature and free text into actionable analytics. He’s based in North Brabant, Netherlands, and is notable for moving seamlessly between building widely used open-source tooling and leading large collaborative studies.
