Victor Maojo, MD, PhD

Dr. Maojo received his doctor of medicine degree from the Universidad de Oviedo, and Masters and PhD degrees in Artificial Intelligence from the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid in Spain. He was a postdoctoral fellow in Medical Informatics at Georgia Tech and a research fellow in the Decision Systems group at Brigham and Womenís Hospital in the Harvard-MIT program, later adding a PhD in Medicine from the University of Corunya. He returned to the Politechnic University of Madrid where he has risen through the academic ranks to Full Professor. He has published more than 170 papers, many of which have had an international scope and influence. He developed the OntoFusion system for integration of heterogeneous clinical and genomic databases that has been widely adopted by research groups in Europe for clinical trials management. Most recently, he has pioneered research and education in the new field of nanoinformatics, which underpins the emerging science of nanoparticles, nanomachines, and biological systems understood at the level of small groups of atoms. He has been an active contributor to international informatics societies, a consultant to the European Union, and has been a leader for the Africa Build program to promote informatics education in Africa. His election as an International Fellow of the College recognizes these achievements that have had an international scope of influence.
