General Information

The Lu Laboratory is in the Division of Biomedical Informatics at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC). We are affiliated with the Department of Pediatrics and Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) and Department of Computer Science at the University of Cincinnati (UC) College of Medicine. (Quick Facts)

Broadly speaking, the current research at the Laboratory is focused on bringing quantitative approaches from disciplines such as computer science and applied mathematics to address fundamental questions in molecular biology.

In particular, we are interested in deciphering human genetic blueprint; modeling complex biological systems, such as biomolecular networks and pathways; and facilitating drug discovery and development. We pay special attention to developing computational tools to unravel the molecular mechanism of human diseases, especially those in Pediatrics, such as cancer, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. We would welcome any suggestions on initiating collaborations.

Our research emphasizes structural and functional aspects of biomolecules by modeling and simulation. We exploit diverse sources of genomic databases by integration and comparison. To learn more about our research, please check out our selected publications.
