Research Narrative

Dr. Wu's research focuses on improving the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of patients with brain injury, with particular emphasis on stroke, cardiac arrest, and traumatic brain injury. A central aim of her work is to predict individual patient responses to therapeutic interventions, enabling more informed clinical decision‑making and improved outcomes.

Dr. Wu's group develops machine‑learning approaches that integrate multi‑modal neuroimaging and clinical data to characterize tissue injury, recovery, and long‑term outcomes. They also advance MRI acquisition and analysis methods and develop quantitative imaging biomarkers, with the goal of translating these innovations into clinically actionable tools.
