Director of Clinical Computational Neuroimaging, Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Dept of Radiology, Massachusetts General Hospital

The research goals of Dr. Wu’s group are to improve the diagnosis, prognosis and management of patients with brain injury by quantifying and monitoring injury or recovery on an individual patient basis. The group focuses particularly on stroke, cardiac arrest and traumatic brain injury. Predicting a patient’s response to different treatment strategies prior to therapeutic intervention can aid clinical decision-making and thereby improve patient outcome. Her research concentrates on the development of machine-learning algorithms which combine multiple MRI modalities and clinical data to assess tissue injury and recovery and ultimately patient-centered outcomes. In addition to algorithm development, her research involves the refinement of advanced MRI data acquisition and analysis and development and validation of quantitative imaging biomarkers. Read More
