Print storyQforma, a Santa Fe medical information firm, has awarded its first-ever Qforma Lectureship, in the amount of $5,000, to Shuang Luan, assistant professor of computer science and assistant joint professor of radiology at The University of New Mexico.
The Qforma Lectureship is awarded to a UNM computer science professor who exhibits momentum toward building an internationally recognized research program and who demonstrates great potential for attaining academic tenure at UNM, a statement said.
The Qforma Lectureship competition, which will be held annually, supports the quality of UNM educational programs by attracting top talent to the school.
"At Qforma, we are passionate about creating intelligent data software solutions that translate into improved health care and that ultimately benefit patients," said Roger D. Jones, chief scientific officer of Qforma. "Dr. Luan clearly shares that passion, and we are proud to recognize and support his important research with the first Qforma lectureship."
Qforma was recently selected by USA Today to create a Most Influential Doctors database, which lists about 8,800 specialists in the treatment of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, breast cancer, depression, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and arthritis from more than 300 U.S. metro areas.
