Research Overview
Dr. Rosemary Martoma is a physician–researcher in the Computational Health Informatics Program (CHIP) at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Her work focuses on leveraging real-world clinical data and statistical modeling to generate actionable insights for infectious disease surveillance and response. She has developed methods to estimate immunization gaps from routine clinical data and currently leads a multi-institutional effort to validate EHR-derived vaccination metrics against state registry data. Her broader interests include real-world evidence generation, data interoperability, and AI-enabled clinical and public health decision support.
Research Background
Dr. Martoma is a board-certified pediatrician and Clinical Fellow at Boston Children’s Hospital, where she also serves as a Research Fellow in CHIP. Before joining BCH, she was an Assistant Professor at The Ohio State University and an Attending Physician at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, where she also served as a Principal Investigator. Her experience spans computational epidemiology, real-world data integration, and health systems research. She has published in high-impact scientific journals and presented nationally on infectious disease modeling, vaccination coverage, and population health analytics.
