CVI News: Wensi Wu Awarded K25 Mentored Quantitative Research Career Development Award

Wensi Wu, PhD

Wensi Wu, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in the Jolley Lab received a K25 Mentored Quantitative Research Career Development Award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute with Matthew Jolley, MD at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia as her primary mentor.

Dr. Wu's project, "Toward Patient-Specific Computational Modeling of Tricuspid Valve Repair in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)," aims to develop machine-learning techniques to derive mechanical properties of HLHS tricuspid valves from medical images.

This innovative work will enhance the computational models utilized for evaluating HLHS tricuspid valve function and enable in silico optimization of valve repair specific to individual patients before intervention.
