Vivien Bonazzi has joined Deloitte’s government and public services practice as managing director and chief biomedical data scientist for Deloitte Consulting LLP.
Bonazzi, who has a Ph.D. in molecular pharmacology, biology and computational biology from the University of Melbourne – Australia, will focus on helping federal agencies use data science methods, technologies and cyberinfrastructures to better understand and use biomedical data, the company said.
“Dr. Bonazzi’s in-depth knowledge of NIH and her deep technical expertise related to data science and biomedical research bring unique qualifications to Deloitte, as we deepen our expertise in the space,” said Kevin Brault, principal, Deloitte & Touche LLP and federal health care leader.
