Interests

Validation and measurement of clinical utility in biomarkers, application of machine learning in device and drug surveillance using the electronic health records
As a clinical epidemiologist, Dr. Deppen evaluates and seeks to improve the diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of various cancers. He is an Associate Professor of Thoracic Surgery, co-director of the Vanderbilt’s Thoracic Biorepository and the Early Detection Research Network’s Lung Group National Clinical Validation Center. He also co-leads the MASLAB with Drs. Maldonado and Grogan. Through these roles he has extensive experience in the validation and clinical evaluation of imaging based models, biomarkers, and diagnostic tests with a focus on the early detection of lung cancer. Dr. Deppen’s current research focuses on validation and measurement of clinical utility in biomarkers, application of machine learning in device and drug surveillance using the electronic health records and development of Veteran specific lung cancer screening models, which extensively uses machine learning to link service related and subsequent cancer exposures. In addition to his expertise in lung cancer, he has extensive expertise and publications in the areas of cost effectiveness and implementation science with a focus on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Since the beginning of his research career, Dr. Deppen has worked directly with clinicians and scientists to bring evidence to the bedside and improve healthcare across a variety of diseases and their interventions. He is a member of the Early Detection Research Network (EDRN) in the areas of epidemiology and biomarker validation as well as being the co-chair of the biological reference sets working group.
