While earning his PhD from Vanderbuilt University in biomedical Informatics, Jacob led the collaborative development of an online community for cancer survivorship. The primary aims of the research were to define the local cancer survivorship community, identify its strengths and opportunities to improve, build an online community to address these opportunities, and evaluate the collaborative design and development of this online community. With all the literal juggling of a full carerer, Jacob still advocates for cancer awareness.
