With his skills in biomedical data science and experience in collaborative studies, Dr. Lu leads a junior group sitting at the interface between the experimental, clinical and computational teams in SMART-CARE. The junior group aims to develop new computational methods for the robust and sensitive mining of primary mass spectrometry data, as well as the efficient integrating of mass spectrometry data with other omics and clinical data, which will serve as a solid foundation for patient stratification and biomarker discovery.
