Keywords Uniting computational and biomedical science · University of Illinois Urban-Campaign and the Mayo Clinic · NSF CCBGM · Major Depressive Disorder Predictive Algorithm Prof. Ravishankar Iyer (Ravi Iyer) was the driving force behind the creation of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and Mayo Clinic joint National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Center for Biotechnology and Genomic Medicine (CCBGM). CCBGM has become a major focus of a long-standing relationship between UIUC and Mayo as well as a catalyst for uniting modern analytical techniques such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning with medical practice at Mayo and with the science based at both institutions. If that description makes Dr. Iyer sound a bit like a “force of nature”, the authors of this tribute could not agree more that he was not merely “present at the creation” of this important NSF Center, but rather that he—in partnership with one of us, Dr. Wang—conceived of, articulated the vision for CCBGM and drove that vision to reality. The outcome has served as a positive stimulus to both institutions, UIUC and the Mayo Clinic, as well

N2 - Prof. Ravishankar Iyer (Ravi Iyer) was the driving force behind the creation of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and Mayo Clinic joint National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Center for Biotechnology and Genomic Medicine (CCBGM). CCBGM—led by Professor Iyer at UIUC and Professor Liewei Wang from the Mayo Clinic—has served as a “catalyst” for exchange between these two outstanding institutions and for bringing cuttingedge Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques to the “bedside” at Mayo and beyond in the broader biomedical community. As a result, CCBGM has become a model for value of inter-institutional and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
