Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJack Ostroff is a seasoned clinical informatics and documentation specialist with 16+ years of experience applying computing to pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, and medical practice. He led development of conformed clinical trial databases, imaging repositories, and multivariate visualization tools at large pharma, and later provided consulting and quality review for high-profile Phase 3 studies. Now retired but active in volunteer documentation and technical support (KMyMoney, AARP Tax Aide) and nonprofit leadership, he combines hands-on programming and systems design with deep domain knowledge of HIPAA and 21 CFR Part 11 constraints. His background uniquely blends an MD, an MS in Computer Science, and front-line IT/sysadmin experience, enabling him to translate clinical needs into compliant, auditable informatics solutions. Notably, he has a track record of turning critiques into contributions—joining open source projects to improve documentation rather than just pointing out problems. Based in Connecticut, he remains focused on expanding the reuse and visualization of clinical trial data to accelerate medical advancement.
