About the Lab

The Brundage Lab does multimodal informatics for animal and comparative health. We build and apply computational methods across data modalities — genomic, pathological, imaging, clinical, acoustic, behavioral, environmental, and sensor-based — to problems in companion animal, comparative, and wildlife health. The lab's intellectual coherence is methodological: progress in animal health requires integrating modalities that have historically been studied in isolation, and AI and informatics make that integration tractable now. Our work is organized into three modality-family pillars — Genomic & Molecular, Imaging & Pathology, and Clinical & Longitudinal — with cross-cutting projects in sensing and behavioral data, and natural connections to One Health questions.

Dr. Brundage is a biomedical informaticist building a lab focused on multimodal informatics for animal and comparative health. The Brundage Lab develops AI and informatics methods that integrate genomic, imaging, clinical, behavioral, and environmental data for problems in companion animal, comparative, and wildlife health — modalities that have historically been studied in isolation.

He earned his PhD in Biomedical Informatics from Rutgers University in 2020. Before joining the University of Wisconsin–Madison, he held concurrent appointments as Assistant Professor of Research in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine (Computational and Systems Pathology, under Dr. Luigi Marchionni) and as Affiliate Lead Scientist in AI Operations and Data Science Services at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute from 2020 to 2022. During that time he designed and deployed software for computational pathology and led the design and implementation of cloud-based digital pathology infrastructure, contributing to NIH/NCI-funded initiatives including the Medical Image De-Identification (MIDI) Task Group and the Pan Prostate Cancer Project.

He is an Early Stage Investigator and an Allied Professional member of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP). He also holds an MBA in Health Administration and a BS in Health Informatics.
