At PHS, ERIS supports the vast research community of MGH, BWH, and McLean Hospital.  We focus on shared technologies and services for researchers, leaving the "standards" to be supported by PHS IS.  In most cases, researchers may use the standards.  However, in certain areas, like High Performance Computing or help with an analysis package, our group will assist.

I helped build and grow ERIS at Mass General Brigham into a centralized research technology and data suite of services that included a core facility serving thousands of investigators across multiple hospitals and research institutes. What started as a response to the early next-generation sequencing data surge evolved into a sustainable, service-based organization delivering secure research compute, compliant storage, cloud platforms, and application services serving multi-modal and collaborative research.

A major focus of my work has been operationalizing the business of a core facility — developing chargeback models for dedicated development and pipeline support, formalizing service catalogs, aligning with institutional governance and compliance requirements, and ensuring that technical platforms remain financially and operationally sustainable over time.

Within the Bioinfo-Core community, I’ve been involved in ISMB workshops, panel discussions, and competency framework efforts focused on helping core facilities professionalize — from infrastructure scaling and training models to service delivery and long-term sustainability. I’m particularly interested in how core facilities balance innovation with operational discipline, and how we build durable teams and platforms that can adapt as science evolves.

I continue to be engaged in conversations about sustainable platform architecture, cloud-native research environments, and the evolving role of core facilities as enterprise digital partners rather than simply service providers.
