Fourth UMKC Fellow Named to National Academy of Inventors Mark Hoffman of Children’s Mercy is a School of Medicine professor

I am very grateful for this recognition by the National Academy of Inventors and for Dr. Caruso @umkc.bsky.social for the nomination. Most of the issued patents stem from my work to integrate genomic information with the EHR at Cerner.
