The Forge is Duke University's center for health data science. Based in the Duke University School of Medicine and led by Vice Chancellor for Health Data Science Dr. Robert M. Califf, the Forge is part of a community spanning the university, the Duke health system, and beyond that is using data science to develop actionable insights and improve health outcomes. Dr. Califf is joined by a diverse team of scholars, clinicians, and experts from multiple disciplines who represent Duke's campus-wide interest in health data science. The Forge is a symbol of creation through transformation—a transformation that requires arduous work but results in lasting tools capable of solving big problems.
