Adam R. Ferguson, MS, PhD is Professor of Neurological Surgery and Director of Data Science in the Brain and Spinal Injury Center (BASIC) at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, and Weill Institute for Neurosciences at University of California at San Francisco (UCSF). He is jointly appointed as Principal Investigator in the San Francisco VA Healthcare System. His research interests span from mechanistic neuroscience in model organisms to large-scale clinical data science and precision medicine. He directs a diverse team of researchers performing a hybrid of bench neuroscience and translational data science, supported by grants from the NIH, VA, DoD, DARPA and non-profits. He currently serves as President of the National Neurotrauma Society. He is a founder and Co-director of international data sharing efforts through the Open Data Commons for TBI (odc-tbi.org), and SCI (odc-sci.org), federally-supported data management ecosystems that enable FAIR data sharing, data publication, and citation.
