Titus Schleyer is a Research Scientist at the Center for Biomedical Informatics of the Regenstrief Institute and Professor of Biomedical Informatics at the Indiana University School of Medicine.

He leads the Learning Health Informatics Program, which uses everyday patient care and other data to improve the health of and healthcare for people in Indiana and beyond. A recent focus of his is the intersection of climate change, health and informatics. Climate-related exposures such as extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and temperature fluctuations have increasingly serious implications for human health. Biomedical informatics is essential to support our attempts to understand, mitigate, and adapt to climate change. Dr. Schleyer is the founder and chair of the AMIA Climate, Health and Informatics Working Group.

An award-winning educator, Dr. Schleyer is focused on educating the next generation of biomedical informaticians. He co-directs the National Library of Medicine-funded Public & Population Health Informatics Fellowship at Indiana University. In addition, he continuously mentors trainees in several other training programs.

Dr. Schleyer holds DMD and PhD degrees from Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, a DMD degree from Temple University, Philadelphia, and an MBA degree in Health Administration from Temple University. He is a fellow of the American College of Medical Informatics and the American Medical Informatics Association, and is an AMIA Certified Health Informatics Professional.
