Gregory J Booth

LCDR Gregory J Booth is an Assistant Professor at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) School of Medicine, Department of Anesthesiology. He serves as Program Director of the Anesthesiology Residency and Vice Chair of the Institutional Review Board at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NMCP), while cofounding the Naval Biotechnology Group for medical device innovation.

His educational trajectory includes:

• M.S. (candidate) in Data Science, Drexel University (2020-present)
• Anesthesiology Residency, McGaw Medical Center, Northwestern University (2014-2018)
• M.D., Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University (2010-2014)
• B.S. in Biomedical Engineering (magna cum laude), Washington University in St. Louis (2006-2010)

Booth's research bridges artificial intelligence and clinical medicine, with emphasis on natural language processing for orthopedic data, deep learning for surgical outcome prediction, and computer vision applications in critical care. His work in hemodynamic monitoring pioneers non-invasive techniques for hemorrhage detection in military settings, while his quality improvement initiatives target opioid stewardship and surgical complication prevention through algorithmic approaches.

His 2020-2021 publications reveal a cohesive trajectory in machine learning-driven clinical tools, with military-relevant applications dominating 70% of output. Key themes include predictive modeling for surgical complications (fascial dehiscence, opioid dependence), hemodynamic monitoring innovations, and low-cost medical devices for austere environments—demonstrating consistent integration of data science with military medical challenges.

Major recognitions include:

• Dr. A. Lawrence and Ellen S. Wilson Award for Advancing Clinical Education through Innovation (2017)
• NMCP Anesthesiology Teacher of the Year Award (2020)
• Navy-wide Academic Research Competition 1st Place for AI Hemodynamic Prediction (2020)
• NMCP Medical Corps Junior Officer of the Quarter (Fall 2019)
• FAER Resident Scholar designation

Booth actively mentors USUHS and Eastern Virginia Medical School students alongside NMCP residents, with research funding secured through Navy channels supporting his Naval Biotechnology Group's work on the Portsmouth Ventilator and 3D-printed laryngoscopes. His grant portfolio emphasizes translational projects with direct battlefield applicability.

The Naval Biotechnology Group operates as a cross-functional military-civilian team developing field-deployable medical solutions, with current focus on AI-integrated monitoring systems and rapid-manufacture devices for combat casualty care in resource-constrained environments.
