His work spans the continuum of informatics, ranging from independent research to informatics infrastructure development in support of research. Dr. Hanauer is currently a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Learning Health Sciences at the University of Michigan Medical School with joint appointments in the School of Information and the Department of Pediatrics.
He is the informatics faculty lead for the CTSA-funded Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR).
