Nigel Bush, PhD - Director
Dr. Bush has served as co-investigator and co-PI on more than a dozen
federally sponsored research projects. He currently is co- principal investigator
of a 4-year NCI project which is developing the use of web-based patient
self-assessments of Quality of Life (QOL) and survivorship that allow
bone marrow and stem cell transplant survivors to transmit very frequent
information about their recovery from their homes. He also currently serves
as principal investigator and co-investigator on various projects concerning
web-based breast cancer risk education, computerized patient self-assessment,
cancer genetics, and smoking cessation.
Dr. Bush has given numerous presentations and media interviews nationally
and internationally. He has published widely on health related QOL and
survivorship research and methodology, and, more recently, on the use
of the new technologies in health care and cancer communications. In September
1998, he was among 30 scientists nationwide who were invited to participate
in a three-day expert summit at the MIT media lab in Cambridge, MA to
discuss the future of health communications technology.
