He is a '92 Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Morehouse College (Mathematics).


F. DuBois Bowman, a renowned expert in the statistical analysis of brain imaging data, is dean of U-M’s School of Public Health. His work mines massive data sets and has important implications for mental and neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, schizophrenia and substance addiction. Bowman’s research has helped reveal brain patterns that reflect disruption from psychiatric diseases, detect biomarkers for neurological diseases, and determine more individualized therapeutic treatments. Additionally, his work seeks to determine threats to brain health from environmental exposures.
Prior to joining U-M’s School of Public Health in 2018, Bowman was chair and the Cynthia and Robert Citrone-Roslyn and Leslie Goldstein Professor in the Department of Biostatistics at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and a tenured professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at Emory University.

As a principal investigator, Bowman has received seven National Institutes of Health grants, has been a co-investigator on several federally sponsored grants and has been an integral collaborator on an international research project led by the Michael J. Fox Foundation. He has also served on advisory boards for NIH programs that target underrepresented minority students at historically black colleges and universities and has led NIH diversity pipeline training programs.
Bowman is a fellow of both the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Statistical Association and previously served as president of the Eastern North American Region of the International Biometric Society.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Morehouse College, a master’s degree in biostatistics from U-M, and a doctorate in biostatistics from the University of North Carolina.

Quite a resume. Congratualations to Dr. Bowman and Omega.
