She has also developed computational techniques for tracking medication-related complications in patients at Partners Healthcare. She was part of OMOP, a multidisciplinary, nation-wide team of researchers conducting epidemiological studies to explore and confirm safety signals, assess risk and detect serious adverse effects not identified at clinical trials conducted before approval by the FDA. Dr. Sordo was principal analyst and implementer of the eRecommendations for Clinical Decision Support sponsored by the AHRQ.

She is a principal investigator on modeling patient characteristics and preferences to evaluate the impact of public health policies in individual health using complex adaptive systems.

Dr. Sordo holds a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science from ITAM, Mexico; MSc. in Artificial Intelligence from The University of Edinburgh, UK; and Ph.D. in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence from The University of Sussex, UK.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
