About Khoa Nguyen

Khoa Nguyen, Pharm.D., received his Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of Michigan, College of Pharmacy. He then completed a fellowship in medical informatics at the VA Indianapolis, HSR&D. Currently, Dr. Nguyen is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacotherapy and Translational Research at the University of Florida, College of Pharmacy, and Co-Director of the UF COP AI Partnership and Innovation Hub. His clinical practice is within the UF Health Personalized Medicine Program to help develop and improve pharmacogenomic clinical decision support. Additionally, he serves as a faculty liaison at the UF CTSI Integrated Data Repository (IDR) Services to support both research data requests and research IT integration into UF Health electronic health record (EHR) system.

Dr. Khoa Nguyen’s research spans medical informatics, human-computer interaction, pharmacogenomics, and artificial intelligence. His work centers on advancing patient safety through human factors engineering and health information technology. A key focus of his research is leveraging human factors and human-computer interaction methodologies to optimize the implementation of pharmacogenomic clinical decision support (PGx-CDS), tools that, when effectively deployed, enable clinicians to predict and prevent severe adverse drug reactions arising from genetic variation. Dr. Nguyen is also dedicated to advancing the integration of AI into electronic health record systems to enhance clinical decision-making. His current projects include embedding a machine learning-based opioid risk prediction and stratification tool into the UF EHR system, as well as developing an AI-driven prediction model and clinical decision support system to improve the uptake of pharmacogenomics in clinical practice
