Research Summary

Dr. Gatewood has been instrumental in establishing the University of Minnesota as a leader in health informatics. She and her colleagues have produced cutting-edge research and developed innovative technologies in the fields of micropopulation simulation modeling, clinical decision-making and laboratory information systems, and microbial biotechnology databases. Gatewood was key in establishing the National Micropopulation Simulation Resource, a pioneering individual-based modeling resource for epidemiology. Over the years she has worked with informatics colleagues and doctoral students to develop simulation programs for modeling genetic, chronic, and infectious diseases, neural networks, and social networks.
