Dr. Lu’s research focuses on A) machine learning to predict health outcomes from imaging and B) clinical trials using CT to improve health. Recent work has used convolutional neural networks to predict longevity and cancer from routine chest radiograph images. He co-chairs the Mechanistic CT Substudy of REPRIEVE, a NHLBI-sponsored multicenter randomized controlled trial of statins to reduce coronary plaque and prevent cardiovascular events in HIV. His research has been supported by the American Heart Association, American Roentgen Ray Society, American College of Radiology, MGH Fund for Medical Discovery, and Harvard University Center for AIDS Research.
