Summary
Allison Creason is a Group Lead in Computational Precision Oncology at OHSU with over a decade of experience applying machine learning and multi-omics analyses to translate complex cancer biology into clinically actionable insights. She leads a multidisciplinary team developing scalable, reproducible ML/AI pipelines for histopathology, spatial omics, and sequencing data—work that has been adopted across cancer centers and integrated into CLIA/CAP clinical workflows. As HTAN Data Science co-Lead and Co-Investigator on multiple NCI grants, she shapes data strategy for large consortia while championing FAIR principles and community benchmarking. Her technical breadth spans bulk and single-cell genomics, proteomics, multiplexed tissue imaging, and workflow engineering with Galaxy, Nextflow, and CWL. Notably, she has bridged research and diagnostic practice by implementing ACMG-compliant variant interpretation pipelines and driving multi-modal biomarker validation in clinical trials.
